[Elecraft] Elecraft] When Did the Original K3 Start Shipping?

[David Inger]

 Thanks to all those who responded to my inquiry.  My K3 is #565, so it came
into this world in the Spring of 2008 (or there abouts).

Over the years I have spent about $3500 on the K3/P3 combo, including
upgrades (I'm not adding in the KPA500 or KAT500 since these are standalone
and could be used with any HF rig).

So $3500 divided by 7 years = $500 per year of ownership.  What a deal!  My
bicycling addiction is way more expensive.

I am now feeling guilty that I have not "donated" enough money to care for
the struggling waifs at Elecraft.  Thank goodness the K3s came around just
in time for me to consider a contribution to my favorite RF charity.
