He says he's got a Flex 1000. It's not like he doesn't have a way to get on the air and enjoy his hobby.
I just upgraded my shack from an old Yaesu 817 to a Flex 3000. By doing the normal method of scrimping and saving. I wasn't aware that posting to every ham forum until I get contributions was an acceptable method for upgrading. I see the ads in QST where you can contribute old ham gear that will get distributed to people who have NO rig. This seems to make sense to me - help get a new ham with no radio on the air. But an upgrade - just cuz there is something new available? Come on.

Maybe he thinks he can get the good folks on that list to pony up a K3 for him too. Maybe he's going to write an article on "How I assembled a multi-op station for free" Please publish this to the list - this guy is a con.

Interested in acquiring a minty K3 Posted by: "JUAN" <mailto:[email protected] <http://us.mc800.mail.yahoo.com/mc/[email protected]> ?Subject=%20Re%3ANEWBIE%3A%20Greetings%20t o%20all%2E%20Interested%20in%20acquiring%20a%20minty%20K3> [email protected] <http://us.mc800.mail.yahoo.com/mc/[email protected]> <http://profiles.yahoo.com/k4lcd> k4lcd Thu Jul 23, 2009 4:57 am (PDT) Hi all! During the last four years I have owned and enjoyed a Flex SDR-1000. Last Sunday, during a picnic with Hams at a park in SW Miami, Julio, AD4Z, gave me a demonstration of his K3 and I was truly impressed with his radio. I have been a ham for 50 years, 71 years old retired and love this wonderful hobby. I would love to own a minty K3. If you would like to sell yours, please let me know. Sincerely and 73 Juan/K4LCD Michael Jones KC7FH _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] <http://us.mc800.mail.yahoo.com/mc/[email protected]> http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ Message delivered to [email protected] <http://us.mc800.mail.yahoo.com/mc/[email protected]> _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ Message delivered to [email protected]
