As a prospective K3 customer, I have been following this link with very great interest. I would be interested in knowing what percent of K3 deliveries require return to Elecraft for repair and of that cohort, what is the percentage of K3's that were fundamentally defective upon delivery as opposed to damaged by customer (mis)use.
For me the weakness of the K3 is the (probably necessary) departure from the "kit model" of the rest of the Elecraft line where self repair is the order of the day. The repair of a K3, it seems to me, almost certainly requires a factory return, which, from this thread, is somewhat unappealing. I am interested further discussion on this thread in order to help me determine whether my very limited funds go toward a K3 purchase or the purchase of a second, but "fully tricked out", K2/100.
