[Elecraft] P3 pricing

[Gmail - George]

Maybe Elecraft can weigh-in about the "Burn-In Time" for the boards used in 
the kits.

I have all kits and suspect that my Elecrafts are actually as good as 
factory except they were assembled by a rank amateur (Elecraftwise).
I do know that I had no qualms about modify the filters or motherboard for 
the recent low freq operation; because I knew how to disassemble my K3.
If I ever have to trouble shoot any of the K-Line or KX3, I know where to 
look once I get the schematic out!
When I first went from Kenmore to Elecraft, the availability of the kit made 
it a know brainer to go to Elecraft.
The customer service and firmware & hardware updates have been the icing on 
my Elecraft cake.

I disagree that factory built value is nil. When I bought my K3 I was told 
factory builds went through a 24 hour burn in, and then checked for specs. 
That to me is value.

If a used item is 75% or more of new item pricing, the warranty alone 
decides for me to buy new.
