[Elecraft] KX3+PX3+KXPA100 for K3(S)-100 Swap?

[Bruce Nourish]

Hi folks,

The KX2 has totally won me over for portable operations -- a fully-featured
HF radio I can fit easily in a carry-on, or my hiking pack. Now I'm
interested in switching my home station to a K3 or K3S.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has a 100W K3 or K3S, and would
like to trade for a KX3 with all the trimmings but the hand mic, plus some
money (via Paypal) in one direction or the other, depending on the details
of what you have.

Specifically, I have:

* KX3, factory assembled with the following options: KXAT3 (tuner), KXBC3
(general coverage), KXFL3 (filter).
- Also includes KXPD3 (paddles) and KX3-PCKT (full set of cables for
packet, RX I/Q, and accessories).
- I installed the KX3-2M-AT 2m module in the KX3 myself.
* PX3
* KXPA100, factory assembled; I subsequently installed the KXAT100 tuner
myself. Also includes KXPACBL, the cabling for the KX3.

No mods, excellent condition, everything works perfectly; I'd like your
K3/K3S to be about the same shape. If you were to buy my full setup new
from Elecraft, it would cost about $3,700; a new 100W K3S with no options
is $2,900, so our rigs are likely to be in the same ballpark.

I'm currently travelling, so I won't be able to make the trade until the
1st, regardless. I'm going to leave this invitation out here until then, to
see what interest I get. If none, I'll sell this gear for cash, and buy a
new K3S.

Thanks, everyone.

Bruce
