Dick I strongly endorse Petr's excellent advice. You can find some excellent choices on sites such as qth.com and eham.net. I've bought and resold 5 or 6 units since my very first SN #111 since I like to trade up to the latest production versions (now on #86XX). I're made enough on these units by stripping out options I don't need and reselling them separately for higher prices such that the total net cost of my current unit is probably zero or maybe even a net profit. Here are a couple of units on qth.com (click Search Ads at the top) that are worthy of consideration: Elecraft k3/100 100 watt transceiver; KAT3 Auto Antenna Tuner: KBPF3 General Coverage Receiver; KFL3A-28k 2.8khz 8 pole filter; K3FLA-400 400hz 8 pole filter; power cord; all manuals. SN23xx---no holes, blemishes, or dents. Never operated mobile or portable. Nicotine and pet free environment. $1450. Elecraft K3 / 100 Pristine condition- Radio has 2.7 filter ,KAT3A AT, KPA3A 100 watt amplifier Powerpole power cable, Manual, Latest firmware installed. $1450 plus shipping. $1450 is still a LOT of money for many of us, but a bargain compared to buying a brand new K3S, and you're getting about 95% of the performance. BTW I have no connection with either of the sellers above. 73 & GL, Bill W4ZV -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
