KX3 Going to California
June 28, 2022
I shipped my KX3 back to the factory on Friday. It won’t arrive there until Thursday according to Fedex and that will begin the 15 to 20 week clock currently required for service and upgrades at Elecraft. It seems like a crazy amount of repair time, but such is the new world order. It’s not yet the 4th of July and the KX3 might be gone until we begin shopping for a Thanksgiving turkey…
Meanwhile, my order for a fully-loaded KX2 was placed ten days ago with an estimate of 12-16 weeks for delivery. I could have it in hand before the KX3 arrives back home.
All my portable activities now fall to the perfectly capable TX-500. It’s good to have back-up equipment, but now all my eggs are in that basket for any field work.
