Inflated units could pose a problem, since there is no official VAT code 
for imported recrational air.


Air? He says Air? Good god man! It's gaseous Mojo...

Perhaps its time, to build your own homebrew 
transceiver rig?  Tube type? Oven-heated
crinkle-black paint, Millen meters? 5U4's?

Honestly tho - for a price, perhaps you could
talk one of us first-production K3 Kit 
owners, out of their rig.

Reminds me of the 1978 U.S. gas crisis times,
when I was able to buy a brand new Honda
Civic CVC 25 mpg model - I had people offering
to buy it from me, in parking lots.  :)

If you have to have one right now, it's easy!  Just download the image of the 
K3 and print it out on your printer to it's actual size.  Then tape it to the 
front of your current rig or to a cardboard box.  That's what I did while I 
was building my K2...well sort of.  I have a picture of the K2 on the wall of 
my office.  You could also use it as wallpaper on your computer.  That might 
take the edge off while you are waiting.  I haven't ordered one yet because, I 
just built the K2 and I'm having fun playing with it.  I'll wait till Elecraft 
has them in stock and everyone else has had a chance to road test them.


I hope this helps!

Black crackle paint is nice but a dust collector. I prefer bare aluminum.

Well, that would be governed by the rules and regulations of the 
IICA(International Inflatable Companion Association).


Units that comply with the regulations would be shipped in complaince with all 
local ordnances.


Inflated units could pose a problem, since there is no official VAT code for 
imported recrational air.

Hi Rusty,

If the most important thing to you is having a K3 ASAP, then you might
be able to find someone who has a first production run K3 on order, who
would be willing to part with it for a sufficient premium, like four or five
times the suggested retail price!

Or, if you really can't want for a K3, then buy something else. 

73,
Gary  KI4GGX
