[Elecraft] K3S accessories availability, moving forward

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

Thanks Don.  
I am sitting on the fence what course of action to take.
I'd really like to find a K3 (non S) in Canada, but there are not too many around.
Barring that, a K3 in the USA from someone I know (ie: trust).  Also difficult, but not impossible.

I don't really need an "S" nor a K4, as 90% of what I do is just contest for fun.  I have a pair of IC-7410's in 
my SO2R setup and an older but loaded K3 which I only use as a travel/expedition type rig, but tossing around the idea
of making the main setup a "pair of K3's" (plural, not "S",. hi)

Thanks for the info/advice.  Always appreciate your no nonsense words and great work.

Mike,

The filters definitely, they are the same ones used in the K4.
The 2nd RX and 2m option may or may not be available.  They are building 
no more, so whenever stock is depleted, they will be gone.

You might want to consider putting them on a credit card and pay it off 
monthly.
