[Elecraft] {P3] resale value

[Phil Wheeler]

Jerry,

I agree with Bill.  Not much to tinker with in a 
P3, you just connect it and use it -- unless you 
add the SVGA board.

And, unlike my K3, the P3 is current production: 
So far as I know there is no P3s.

73, Phil W7OX

Elecraft gear is pretty solid and does seem to hold value well. If you think saving 20% will make it fit your budget I'd not hesitate to purchase. For a K3, that's a piece of change ( P3 + KXV3B = $900).
