I ordered a K3 about 2 weeks ago. Total for the 100w kit with tuner and
second rx was $2669.00. I paid that much about a year ago for a new
transceiver from an unnamed manufacturer with dual rx. Enough said. I'm sure
I won't be disappointed with the K3 purchase. I am very disappointed with
the other purchase. I don't mind spending money if I get a quality product
with support. The other company was on the users group for the radio I
purchased a year ago. That lasted about 3 months. 3 firmware updates and
still many problems IMHO. Hurry up Wayne so I can sell the other rig. I'll
lose an easy $600 when I sell it.

Subject: [Elecraft] Price increases - I feel loved....
I got my "Katiegram" today from Aptos. A K3 kit with many options, ordered
7/27/07 to be shipped within 7-10 days.
I took note of the price increases back in January, and those posted today.
By ordering when I did, I saved a total of $200 plus. I am pleased with my
decisions.
I am not unhappy about the increases. If I had held off on ordering, I would
have been upset with myself, not the vendor. Elecraft and other American
companies have been taking a real hit lately with the weak dollar. A lot of
their business comes from overseas, and they get less for their fine
products when the dollar drops vs other currencies. I have no problem with
them increasing prices to offset these losses.
