[Elecraft] K3 Repair

[Julius Fazekas n2wn]

Tough call Ed...

I had two K2s, and still really like the rig. Think the K3 is a bit more flexible and added 6M...

Understand about the funds

Happy 4th o' July!

As a prospective K3 customer, I have been following this link with very

great interest. I would be interested in knowing what percent of K3

deliveries require return to Elecraft for repair and of that cohort, what is

the percentage of K3's that were fundamentally defective upon delivery as

opposed to damaged by customer (mis)use.


For me the weakness of the K3 is the (probably necessary) departure from the

"kit model" of the rest of the Elecraft line where self repair is the order

of the day. The repair of a K3, it seems to me, almost certainly requires a

factory return, which, from this thread, is somewhat unappealing. 


I am interested further discussion on this thread in order to help me

determine whether my very limited funds go toward a K3 purchase or the

purchase of a second, but "fully tricked out", K2/100.
