[Elecraft] K3S pricing comparison

[Mike K8CN]

Someone commented on the price increase for the K3S, and indeed it costs more
than a base K3/10 kit did. However, since I've recently been mulling
upgrades to my existing K3/10, I thought I would check the numbers.  Had I
started from scratch and bought the K3/10 kit ($1600, rounded from former
price list), KXV3A ($130), PR6-10 ($160, which requires the KXV3A as well)
and the KSYN3AUPG ($220), I would have spent $2110 excluding shipping costs. 
At $2099 for the base K3S/10-K, I find that the new KXV3B module with 12-6
meter preamp is included as well as the new low-noise synthesizer.  Thus, I
would save $11 by ordering a new K3S rather than purchasing the additional
modules to add the same functionality to my existing K3.  I wonder if my XYL
would buy that argument, especially if I forget to sell the old K3?

I'm envious of all who are having a great time in Dayton - been years since
I was able to get there!

73,
Mike, K8CN
