One of the beautiful things about the K1 / K2 / KX1 series is that they assembled kits sell for at or near new kit price. So a schlep like me can buy a K2, assemble it, use it a bit and get my money back out of it. These are the only rigs that allow that sort of return.
Enter the K3. It's not really a kit, at least not to the same level. I'm expecting the resale value of a K3 will be similar to the resale value of any other commercially produced ham rig. Pay $2000 for a new rig, sell it 1 year later for $1500. So, the Elecraft entry path will be to start with a K2 (or K1), see if you like their stuff, then, sell it (getting your $$ back) and buy a K3. I also wonder what will happen to the used value of a K2 as we'll see an increase in available rigs. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
