I have Order Number: AC-3551 1pcs ANDROMEDA. Order was made 24 Mars. Still no order updates or feedback. Really annoying that the only sign of life from the company and information that customers are actually receiving ordered products are on this forum. Has anyone received a ANDROMEDA lately?

I placed the order for the Andromeda on May 22, 2022, and it starts with AC-36XX. I have not received any shipping notification other than the generic notice that it will ship in between 6 to 8 weeks. I truly hope that Apache-Labs are not treating Andromeda's orders as second to other radios. Hopefully, yours will ship soon. NM4W

What is the current shipping status for the controller v2? Placed an order (AC-3576) in April with no updates since then.

Thanks

I ordered my Andromeda a long time ago - can't even remember the month. Their web site still shows that production will start in June2021.

Yes, I am seriously considering requesting a full refund. I have spoken to my bank about it, and as indicated by one of the bank managers, I am compiling all emails from Apache Labs to consider a refund to my credit card. I might go with a different SDR Radio from a different company. I think I will wait until the end of this month to hear at least some status on my order. Hope to hear from Apache Labs. 73 de NM4W Dr. WiL :roll:

Well I am not waiting a year like I heard some others do. I will wait a little longer before submitting a refund.request. I honestly want to support the efforts and the business of Apache Labs.

I made an order for 1pcs Andromeda 24 March. I received the station 2 weeks ago 24 August. Delivery was 2 weeks after final invoice was paid. That is the timeline you can expect right now.

OK. Well, about 6 months. Better than a year as someone has told me. I hope all is good with your new Andromeda, and that you are happy with it. Thank you. 73 de NM4W - Dr. WiL

Hello All,

I would like to thank you for your patience, it is much appreciated,

The following are the shipment status for the various models:

1. ANAN-7000DLE MKII all pending orders commence shipment from 26th September and we expect to clear the entire backlog within 2-21/2 weeks, so if you have a pending order you should expect it to ship within this time frame.

2. Pending Andromeda orders are expected to ship from the 5th of October and we expect to clear all backorders within 2 weeks of that date.

3. ANAN-8000DLE MKII orders expected ship date is December 2022, we will provide further updates as we approach the ship date.

Regards,

Tony,
Apache Labs Support

Thanks for the update Tony,

Just as a matter of clarification for those waiting you mention, "ANAN-7000DLE MKII all pending orders..." It has been my understanding that after sometime in July, the subsequent 7000DLE's would be MKIII. Perhaps the MKIII applies only to 'orders placed after that point.'

Kind regards,
Dick

Dick,

Where do you see any official reference to a MKIII radio? I see no mention of any such radio on Apache Labs' site.

He means that all units shipped from Apache will contain Orion MKIII boards vs. Orion MKII boards. This includes 7000, 8000 and Andromeda.

I believe that will definitely be the case. The FPGA used on the Orion MKII is simply not available and probably will never be again. It's effectively end-of-life (EOL), Intel simply hasn't admitted it yet.

Hello,
Some user with pending order has received the payment message....????

To know if they are already sending, he created that it is also liked as there are complaints from the support to report the shipment or payment mail.

I have not received anything so far.

Cheers

I have not received an email for payment of the balance due, yet. I imagine, based on the last information from the Apache Labs support team, they will begin dispatching those in October. 73 de NM4W

Choice greetings, Tony. If the Andromeda backlog is starting to be sent on October 5th as you indicated, when will I get the invoice to pay off the balance on my order from May 22, 2022? I have not received it yet.

Thank you,

1) Please don't scream, it hurts my eyes!

2) Your question (if indeed it is a question, as I see no question mark anywhere) can only be answered by an Apache Labs agent, and should be directed to support@apache-labs.com.

That is totally correct. I should have specified the orders from May 2022 are for the backlog for Andromeda. The backlog for the 7000 DLE orders is already being shipped upon payment of the final invoice. Thank you.
