My K3 was delivered on Nov 7th around noon. I had it assembled and was making contacts by 8:00 pm that evening. I plan to bring it to the Nov breakfast for show and tell and should be able to hook it up to my mobile antenna for a demonstration.

Today I received word that my K3 has shipped. It will be here on Wednesday, November 7th. So just a bit over 6 months since I placed my order. Since it is a kit, i will have to assemble it when it arrives. My estimate is 6 to 8 hours to have it fully assembled.

The first K3 was shipped on Tuesday, October 9, 2007. I have heard nothing regarding my order but expect to get it in the next couple of weeks. I have the Assembly manual and the Operators Manual so I have some reading until the radio arrives.
