Time will tell how prices will change. But Elecraft has a unique position in the market... While Kenwood lowered their price for the TS-480 SAT for example over time globally. But then, the K2 and now the K3 gets perpetually improved and the line gets expanded. Why not add hundreds of K3 orders before the TS-590 hits the street?
Quick, name the nearest 3 competitors to the K3! Is it a monster transceiver needing to be "drop shipped"? Is it a SDR requiring a powerful computer which has a hungry power supply, thus the opposite of going green? Whatever it is, it is more expensive AFAIK! How about a Labor Day Special? Spend $ 1.000 and get 5% off. Buy a K3 and add ons for $ 1,000 or more and get 10% off? Lots of people have wish lists with items like a 2nd receiver or a P3 on them. Such an incentive would make many rush to place their orders. 73, Chris KF6VCI ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
