You might verify with them it is actually shipping. On April 1st, I saw a FB posting (How is THAT for reliability!?) that the April 8 shipping notice was a computer error. I wrote it off as an April Fool joke, but two friends who have them on order told me that when they asked, they got this reply:

A change in arrival date for order #XXXXXXXX
Response By Email (Bob) (04/02/2019 05:33 PM) There certainly is, and the notice you received was sent in error by our system.
We have not received our first shipment yet, and we believe that when we get it, it will only allow us to fill about 20% of our current backorders.
You will receive further guidance when we know for sure when your radio will ship, but it will not be on April 8.
Sorry for the confusion.
