[Elecraft] K3S Package Discounts

[Thom]

All I can say to Elecraft is if I had the money to buy a K3 with all the 
options, given all the issues people have with them on this list, I 
probably would not even consider buying one.

I was not really all that impressed with the look of it when I saw it at 
Dayton this year.  It reminded me of the Kenwood gear, I currently own.
