[Elecraft] K3S Package Discounts

I still question the wisdom of bundling the the preamp, USB, 630m
capabilities, etc into the K3S.  This went against Elecraft's original
philosophy of keeping base price low and choosing only the options we really
wanted.  This resulted in inflating the base price which put it out of reach
for many folks and further away from competing products (IC-7300, Kenwood
590 and Flex 6300).  That must be hurting sales resulting in discounting.

A viable option is to buy a recent used K3 and sell/purchase options to
configure it as you want.  Basic K3 prices are in the $1500 making this a
viable alternative IMHO.
