I've been asked by the widow of a ham friend, John McClain, K7SVV, to assist her in disposing of several Elecraft rigs. The information I have at the moment is a bit sketchy, but I will be going over to determine more precise info on all these radios in the next couple of days. In any event, I thought it might be appropriate to give advanced notice in case anyone wanted to get his/her "oar in" on the sale.
What is/will be available is the following: A K1--something in the area of a 13XX serial number. I don't know for sure if it is a 4 bander, but I think it is. A K2--this has the ATU, SSB option, and 160 meter option. It's a QRP version. A K3--this is an early serial number, 100 watt model, with ATU. I need to confirm what filters are included. I'm pretty sure there is no 2nd RX. You can pretty much assume that all of these rigs are "near immaculate". John was a retired IBM tech, and an excellent builder. He was also fastidious about taking care of his equipment. All of these items are lightly used, as John was somewhat distracted by other interests, and didn't really operate all that often. In fact, I'd be surprised if any of these rigs have more than 50-100 hours of operation--maybe even less! He loved putting them together, and owning them, but his "airtime" was pretty minimal. You don't need to contact me yet, unless you are particularly interested, but anyone seriously contemplating any of these radios might want to watch for my follow-up info. I'm pretty certain these would all qualify as a very good find for anyone genuinely interested.
