[Elecraft] K3 Questions, some will be answered over time.

[w6jd at comcast.net]

I placed an order for the K3 as soon as I saw it at Visalia. I tuned it, poked its buttons and "kicked its tires" and I knew I had to have one. At first I put in a no money down order but the more I thought about the level of Elecraft engineering expertise and the unmatched customer service I realized that there really was no downside to committing some up front money and the upside was a great radio and a low serial number  : >).
