[Elecraft] Kit or factory assembled K3?

[Dave Hachadorian]

I think it is well worth the extra $200 to purchase at least a 
basic factory-assembled K3-10.

If you are interested in saving a few bucks and getting to know 
the innards of the rig, then you can add all the extra stuff 
yourself.

The main advantage of getting the assembled rig is the final 
factory acceptance test, verifying that all of the circuitry and 
features of the main board are operational.  This eliminates the 
possibility that the radio is not Dead On Assembly, as happened 
to me, through no fault of my own.  Elecraft cannot test every 
circuit on that main board when they do the testing at the board 
level.

The radio is a great value, even at the factory-assembled price.

One more question: Kit or factory assembled K3?

Thanks for your help. I am practically 86 but I think that I 
could handle the kit.
