I've decided to offer up K3/10 #495 for sale or possible trade. Rig works as 
advertised, has the latest firmware, and is in like-new condition. The only 
installed option is the 5-pole 500 Hz roofing filter. Built from kit 
observing all ESD precautions. Only deviation from instructions was the use 
of 2 zinc pan-head screws to secure the output transistors to the bottom 
panel. (was short two black screws) Manuals, paperwork, and power cord 
included, of course.

Will sell outright for $1,750 (double-boxed shipping and insurance included 
to US only). Digital pics available on request.

Would also be very interested in swapping for a loaded Ten-Tec Omni-VI+ 
(Model 564) in like condition.

Why sell? It's strictly a matter of personal preference, mainly around 
ergonomics issues. The Omni-VI rigs have been my main choice for some time. 
There's no doubt that the K3 has better selectivity, and probably does a 
better job of digging out the weak ones. But, I miss the big display, knobs, 
analog S-meter, one-button pushes for band changes, band stacking, bandwith, 
etc. I also find it is much easier to hold the REV button and tune the VFO 
with one hand when working split on the Omni-VI than the K3.

If interested, please reply direct to: n4uw at chartertn.net  to hold down list 
traffic. I subscribe to the digest, so will not see list replies for some 
period of time.

Tnx & 73,
Luther N4UW
