[Elecraft] KSYN3A

[bs usb]

I think the idea is to remove the sub receiver, sell it, and use the 
proceeds to offset the cost of another option.

You see lots of second receivers on the bay because lots of people have 
the same idea.  Everyone selling reduces the people buying because the 
are all coming out of the same pool of users.  I mean who is going to 
want an Elecraft sub receiver if they don't have Elecraft equipment?

So the 'savings' premis, although logical at first blush, is actually 
seriously flawed.  First off, even if you do find a buyer, the selling 
price is going to be far less than you payed for it because it is used 
and unwanted.  Then, if you later decide to add the sub receiver back, 
you end up possibly paying full price if you have to go back to the 
manufacturer.  That is not a savings.
