My only remorse was deciding to buy a loaded K3 two months before the K3S came out...
But, such is life. The true advantage is that Elecraft keeps their current users in mind when they design new equipment. Upgrades are indeed possible for older units. I say that as I bid my K3 farewell on its 5 week voyage (1 week each way, with approximately 3 wks of turn-around time) to the left coast for upgrades. I was asked about 10 years ago to moderate the Elecraft_K3 list, even though I didn't own one. So, I've at least been a part of the community for some time. I finally decided to become a participant-but my timing was two months off :-( ! During that time, I have never seen a company that is not only USA based, but has customer service that is better than I've seen anywhere. That, and the desire to keep their radio on the top of the heap while respecting their longtime customers by offering upgrades. Elecraft deserves our business!

Jerry, I don't regret for one minute any of my Elecraft purchases. I bought my K3/P3 used several years ago, then added the KAT500 and KPA500 later as resources allowed. I also had a W2 wattmeter for several years, which I sold after it became extraneous to my needs. I also use the T1 QRP tuner with my FT-817 when I operate portable. I've been very happy with all the Elecraft gear I own. 73 de, --Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA EM74ua [email protected] 10-10 #74624, North Georgia Chapter #2038 PODXS 070 #1962 K3# 281, P3 #688, KAT500 #860, KPA500 #1468 -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jerry Moore Sent: Monday, August 3, 2015 8:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] I wonder how many folks have had buyers remorse on a K3/K3S purchase? Just asking. It's a lot of money but appears to be a lot of radio. It's not as flashy as some. Just a lot to think about as I save up.
