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

[T.H. Bauer]

I sincerely doubt you will regret the purchase, Jer. I recently acquired a
used K3, pretty well stocked, from a friend who upgraded to the K3S. The Rx
section is better than most every other rig I have used, including the
legacy Flex radios and most Yaesu. In my case, where I have high
environmental noise levels, the K3 NB does better than what I had raved
about with my Flex'es. And it's NB is less prone to being pumped by nearby
strong signals. IF DX and contests are your thing, you will not regret the
expenditure.

You have options:

   1. Buy used, well equipped;
   2. Buy used, barebones, and add features as you see fit over time (this
   is a real bonus);
   3. Buy a new Kit with features you MUST have and add others later;
   4. Buy new, factory assembled with features you MUST have and add others
   later.

List *your* requirements to meet *your* operating needs and proceed from
there to decide what options NEED to be in your K3/K3S.

There are few rigs available that are modular, allowing us to add
capability as our needs/usage changes. And, Yes, it is a lot of radio in a
nice, compact package. And that was a MUST in my case. (Oh, and flash does
not contacts make!)

Just asking. It's a lot of money but appears to be a lot of radio. It's not
as flashy as some.

Just a lot to think about as I save up.
