[Elecraft] I wonder how many folks have had buyers remorse on a K3/K3S purchase?

buying a K3? Or over not buying one?

I like my K3 and using RPN :-)

There is also a version that has a printer function as well.  Check the Apple Store or the developer’s website (http://alsoftiphone.com) for more information if interested…
