Yes. First shipments began yesterday. We appreciate the patience as we're doing everything we can to get radios into customer's hands as quickly as we can without compromising on quality.

Great to hear. When is shipment to EU planned?

How about providing a purchase ID number count down so those who have placed deposits can see where they are in the list. I have read some people have received or finalized their orders and their purchase numbers are well after mine. Not very optimistic here.

Great idea so we can keep up with what Purchase IDs are being shipped. I did order mine early on Friday morning of Dayton Hamfest, seems like about 7 in the morning if I remember correctly but have not had any correspondence from Flex other than payment details.. Jim K4JAF

all good ideas, but not really practical. I am sure you have all had a job that you did and you were just swamped and some executive who wanted you to produce daily reports. :)

Remember what it was like before you all retired!

Folks could post their order date, model, and date shipped/received to this thread. This would help other purchasers, without additional burden on the FlexRadio team.

It actually won't help as much as you think. The order numbers are not fully sequential. They vary based on the 6 models. There are also dealer orders for other areas of the world.

There are quite a few variables at play that make it difficult to provide a precise update.

Factors like production schedules, supply chain logistics, staffing, and the specifics of each individual order (such as configurations and shipping arrangements) all impact the delivery timelines. The build rate is not a consistent number day to day or week to week.

Sorry, I wish it was as it would help me out as well so I can update people when they email us.
