Re: [Elecraft] K3...Kit or Assembled?
Julian: Actually, I built 2 K2/100's and used them extensively. It is not a matter of not liking "hands on" involvement it is just a question of time management. The K2's were educational in their construction. This unit is like building a PC from components, which I do for all my computers. I responded to Norm with tongue-in-cheek just like the insurance ad for GEICO here in the states.

[Elecraft] K3...Kit or Assembled?
Elecrafters: This weekend at the Field Day site, the subject of the K3 came up and there were several hams who had not heard of the K3 (hard to believe, but true :-)). With respect to the "build or buy" options there were some who seemed delighted that they could get one factory-assembled and then there were others that who became enthusiastic when they learned that the "kit" was a "no solder" kit which only required mechanical assembly, alignment and testing. There was also one who was sad not to have the opportunity to "melt solder." So from this very restrictive sample, it seems that Elecraft has ceretainly expanded their market base with the K3. BTW, I'm purchasing the "kit." My friend John, K1JD, is working on an incense with the smell of solder smoke that we can burn while assembling the K2. ;-) 73, Ken Wagner K3IU Portsmouth, RI ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] K3...Kit or Assembled?
My K3 is a kit. However simple it is to construct I can always say "I built it". I used to dread being approached while flying my RC heli, knowing that I'd soon hear "Cool heli, did you build it?". And I'd have to admit that I didn't. Then one day I "landed hard" and it made a "full kit" out of it. After rebuilding it with the few parts that were not bent and some new ones I needed to buy, and aligning the whole deal, I liked it better and even knew more about it. Now I'm the one wearing the tee-shirt that says "ask me about my heli". ;-) Re: [Elecraft] K3...Kit or Assembled? from [Ken Wagner] [Permanent Link][Original] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3...Kit or Assembled?
