[Elecraft] Why buy a K3

[Tom Arntzen]

It's with radios like cars.
An old vauxhall will get you  from A to B , but wouldn't it be nice to have
some fun getting there?
It's seldom about needs , it's more what you can afford and want to do.
If it was only the A to B needs I still would have my old tentec triton 1.
So the question " why buy a K3 " would rather be : 1. Can you afford it? 2. 
Do you want it?
If yes to both you would have a new rig on your desk maybe late october.
