Summarizing some great offline feedback I'm getting, I can see a few options emerging:
1. Get a loaded K3S/P3 2. Get a loaded KX3/PX3/KXPA100 system 3. Get a loaded/used K3/P3, which "beats" a KX3 system used for a base, at about the cost of a KX3 system 4. Get a "limited" K3S/P3 system, which is similar in most ways to a KX3 system and can be expanded later For the limited K3S option, I think I would do without a SubRX and filter set, no 2M, no new speakers, and come in at $5600. So not about saving money as much as delaying spend. The used K3/P3 option is attractive, but I miss out on the "Next Generation" hardware and add some risk for used equipment. Past the 1 year warranty, I'm only trusting the owner that "as is" is fully functional. The loaded KX3 system can be had used for ~$4000, so not to be dismissed. Expansion options are limited, but a KX3 system may exceed my needs/capabilities for several years. Who know what will be on the market in 2020? Funds don't free up until 1AUG so I've got time for musing and more feedback. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Another-KX3-vs-K3S-Query-tp7620068p7620125.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
