[Elecraft] OT: Selling IC-7300 For Friend

[Gary Smith]

Yes. I built my K3 kit in 09 and sold it 
to a friend who wanted another K3 to match 
his other two K3's. I wanted a K3s so 
applied that sale to buying the K3s, moved 
over that which was worth doing (upgraded 
Sub RX/filters and a few other things and 
upgraded the rest so it's now a current 
K3s.

Add to that that I then bought a very 
early K3 from a nearby ham for my backup 
rig and I am a solid believer in Elecraft 
and their upgrade policy. 

Considering how the other radios on the 
market are not upgradable, I can not 
imagine any reason to ever buy one of 
them. As long as there is Elecraft, I will 
buy the next radio that has something new 
to offer. 

As someone sent to me not long ago... Why 
not buy it now, while you can, you're 
going to be a SK for a very long time... 
Ya know, at my age, that makes all the 
sense in the world to me...

73,
