Just received an email from LNR Precision about the status of the first 100 units they are shipping shortly.

This email is just to confirm that we have your order for the MTR3B V4 Currahee. If you ordered optional accessories such as extra power cords, etc., we have those as well and will ship with the radio once your build is complete. Orders for apparel, whiskey glasses, etc. that are not HAM equipment comes from a third party and ships separately. 

Builds for the initial 100 units are underway and some units have already begun shipping and will be arriving soon. We are processing everything in the ORDER that they were received so please be very patient as we work to fulfil all orders. The initial 100 units so out in 4 minutes so even if you were lucky enough to get your order in, you still may be near or towards the end of the list. We are not working on anything else until we get all 100 of these units shipped! Even within the last few weeks, we have performed some final firmware and component tweaks that we wanted to make sure was included for all units. If you have done surface mount component changes, you know that can be a little time consuming. Plus, we have an extremely high degree of QA testing, so we are methodical before shipping each radio to the customer. We are picking up speed in our process time so hopefully we will have your radio in your hands very soon.

In terms of notification, you will receive a notification of email once we have your unit complete and when it ships from our shop. That will include tracking detail from the USPS to your home (or to customs for international orders). This email is being sent to customers with pending orders. For customers that are awaiting our ordering system to open up, we will only do that when we are at final stages of shipping the initial 100 and can take new orders. We expect that to be near the end of November.

In summary, we have your order and are working through our list as quick as possible without sacrificing anything quality wise. You will receive a notification of when your unit is complete and ships. Thanks again for your patience and we think it will certainly be worth the wait. 

“The initial 100 units sold out in 4 minutes….”

Wow.
