[Elecraft] What made you decide on purchasing a K3?

[Ken - K0PP]

I bought a K2/100 (S/N 5665) with all the options and took 
delivery at an Oregon State Park where Rose and I were 
campground hosts ... building the kit was something to do 
in the RV during drippy Oregon evenings.

It had been a long time since I'd built anything and really
enjoyed the build.  I stopped at the K2/10 point , put the
IC-756ProII under the bed, and put the K2/10 on the air 
using a much-modified High Sierra screwdriver on the RV.
This was about four years ago ... one of these days I'll get
around to building the PA portion of the kit.

I was watching the Elecraft Reflector the Friday evening 
that the K3 was announced from Visalia.  After a few 
minutes "consultation" with Rose I sent an e-mail message 
to Eric ordering a ... sight unseen ... K3.

Seven months later K3 kit S/N 56 arrived and after a few
weeks "evaluation" I sold my FT-990, FT-1000D and the
IC-756ProII on E-Bay.    

73!
