[Elecraft] Older Serial# K3

[Dave, G4AON]

Gary, I would go with a brand new kit. There have been several changes 
to the K3 and not all of them published. The early PA and driver were 
replaced around Jan 2008 with no accompanying mods, there are quite a 
few changes since then and not all owners of the early K3 will have done 
a neat job of the surface mount work.

Older isn't better!

----------------------------

I want to get a K3 and wonder if I'm as well off buying an older K3 as 
getting the latest and greatest straight from elecraft.

If I get an older serial# and make sure all firmware updates are in 
place is it essentially the same radio as the newer version?

Thanks,
