[Elecraft] K3 For Sale

[Jim Brown]

My neighbor Pat Miller, W6DRX, used to be an active contester, but has 
been inactive for several years due to health issues and a major job 
change. Pat and Sandy are moving out of their house (which they will 
rent out) to live on a sailboat that they just bought. He's selling all 
his radio gear, including an early serial number K3. He built it from a 
kit, and I opened it up to verify what was in it. It is VERY clean.

Here's what's in it, and what it would have cost if you had ordered it 
as a kit last month and built it yourself. A factory built rig would, of 
course, have cost several hundred dollars more.

                          2015 Price
K3/100 Base Rig Kit         $2,500
KXV3 Transverter I/O Kit       120
K3 ATU Kit                     320
2.7 kHz 5-pole TX Filter       incl
400 Hz 8-pole Filter           140
1.8 kHz 8-pole Filter          140
Total                        3,220
CA Tax                         258
Total w/tax                 $3,478

On the advice of K6XX, Pat is asking $2,600 for the K3 as built. He will 
accept offers without one or both of the filters. He also has an 
un-built 2nd RX kit, which is the same as what is currently being sold 
for $600. Pat is asking $400.

I posted this listing last week, and I'm really surprised that this 
hasn't been snapped up!  It's a very good deal on a very clean radio. 
Only yesterday, K4TM posted here that he had sold a similarly equipped 
radio for several hundred dollars more! If you don't like the price, 
make an offer.
