[Elecraft] Fwd: Help sell me on the K3S

[Reuben Popp]

These days and times, yes... back when I bought the first one it was $300
from Fair Radio.  I paid more for the CY-979A cabinets, the CV-591A SSB
converter and the accompanying LS-206U.  That said, it took a fair chunk
o'change to get the radio back into shape.  Spare modules in good working
condition are not cheap and not getting any cheaper the longer one waits.
Anyway, the point was when I started down that path I was in the process of
building my K2/10..  I wouldn't get rid of either to fund the purchase of
the other, at least, not at this point.
