[Elecraft] Availability

[David Thompson]

I also bought my KX3/PX3 used from a nice ham in St. Louis through fleaBay. The units came in perfect condition packed in a Nanuck case.

I bought the KXPA100 new, though. It’s a wonderful station, especially when working portable.

I see a KX3 on fleaBay every week or two. The prices aren’t usually too bad and there is some protection buying through that system.
