[Elecraft] K3: used listing (10 watt)

[Bill W5WVO]

That, plus some hams are just obligate horse-traders. I know one such. He is
constantly buying and selling and trading rigs, never staying with anything
more than a few weeks. He has bought and sold the same model of a couple
different low-end transceivers numerous times. I think he likes this aspect
of the hobby more than actually operating! :-) To each his own.
