My neighbor Pat Miller, W6DRX, used to be an active contester, but has
been inactive for several years due to health issues and a major job
change. Pat and Sandy are moving out of their house (which they will
rent out) to live on a sailboat that they just bought. He's selling all
his radio gear, including an early serial number K3. He built it from a
kit, and I opened it up to verify what was in it. It is VERY clean.
Here's what's in it, and what it would have cost if you had ordered it
as a kit last month and built it yourself. A factory built rig would, of
course, have cost several hundred dollars more.
2015 Price
K3/100 Base Rig Kit $2,500
KXV3 Transverter I/O Kit 120
K3 ATU Kit 320
2.7 kHz 5-pole TX Filter incl
400 Hz 8-pole Filter 140
1.8 kHz 8-pole Filter 140
Total 3,220
CA Tax 258
Total w/tax $3,478
On the advice of K6XX, Pat is asking $2,600 for the K3 as built. He will
accept offers without one or both of the filters. He also has an
un-built 2nd RX kit, which is the same as what is currently being sold
for $600. Pat is asking $400.
I posted this listing last week, and I'm really surprised that this
hasn't been snapped up! It's a very good deal on a very clean radio.
Only yesterday, K4TM posted here that he had sold a similarly equipped
radio for several hundred dollars more! If you don't like the price,
make an offer.
73, Jim K9YC
