Hi
Stay with the kit. It saves $240 and only requires a few hours of turning a
screwdriver, plugging in circuit boards and messing about with the menus for
the calibration. Really easy stuff, really good manual and you will feel
better about knowing a little about the works inside in case you want to add
an option or two later.
Thanks

Subject: [Elecraft] Katiegram - Stay or go, yes or no
Just call me Mr. Waffle.
I ordered a K3 at the end of Sept 07. Yea, I want one but paying for it
is not quite so easy to swallow. No biggie, I have months to think
about it. With the shipment of my K3 approaching, I made a few changes.
Added 100 watt PA, CW filter and finally switched to factory built. I'm
still not completely sure I want to go through with it, but I have time
...
Yesterday I got my Katiegram. My time is up. I have to decide whether
to stay or go. Total price is about $2200. I knew it would be that
much but somehow seeing it in an invoice makes it very real. I suppose
I could drop back to the K3/10 kit but that's not what I ultimately
would want. I could go K3/100 kit but truth is I just don't have the
time right now to put it together. When I look at that $2200 bill, I
wonder if I should just make the time.
I feel like a kid who has climbed the high-dive and is standing with his
toes hanging over the edge of the board, nervous and unsure, wondering
what he's gotten himself into.
Mr. Waffle, signing out for now ..
