[Elecraft] Want to Buy a K3

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

Hi Larry,

I do a lot of SSB work and now starting the digital stuff.   I find that 
I am always going down to 1.8 or less on SSB phone in noisy conditions. 
So if to do it again I would not have gotton the 2.1.

Second am finding that I am going down to 100 hz for psk work and I am 
thinking about getting a 500 hz filter to add.  One of the great things 
is that you can easily add filters later after you figure out how you 
are going to actually use the radio.

In fact I am in California this week and hope to stop by the factory to 
see if I can buy some goodies direct and save on the shipping.
