[Elecraft] K3...Kit or Assembled?

Julian:
Actually, I built 2 K2/100's and used them extensively. It is not a matter of not liking "hands on" involvement it is just a question of time management. The K2's were educational in their construction. This unit is like building a PC from components, which I do for all my computers. 

I responded to Norm with tongue-in-cheek just like the insurance ad for GEICO here in the states.

Ciao; and with humor, 73
