Again, firmware upgradable radios are, and will be (by definition) equal
in functionality regardless of serial number.
Contrary to the idea that high serial numbers are superior to lower
ones, many Collins collectors actually prefer lower-numbered

Let's use a bit of logic here: It's not possible to pass judgement on
the future resale value of low SN units, except in retrospect. Who
knows what the future will bring? Perhaps, for whatever reason,

I prefer to think that my low serial number K3 will increase in value
and add to my estate, as a collectors item.
Regarding computers obsolence, even hams are adding to the problem.

NN4X has some valid points and I like his spirit. However, the funny thing
about the K3, it was a remark attributed to W0YK that piqued my interest in the
radio. Basically, I read an article that said Eric and Wayne had captured that
'Drake/Collins' receiver sound...
That's EXACTLY what's

How much would you pay to have enjoyed K2 #50 while waiting for #5000 to show
