Amen! I also feel I got a Premium product too and has been worth the price. I bought my K3 used and got about a 25% savings. I never felt that Elecraft support treated me any different than an original purchaser, that was a plus and helped lead me down road to the complete K-line purchase,

Jerry, I agree with Bill. Not much to tinker with in a P3, you just connect it and use it -- unless you add the SVGA board. And, unlike my K3, the P3 is current production: So far as I know there is no P3s. 73, Phil W7OX On 5/25/16 8:22 AM, Nr4c wrote: Jerry. It's only worth what you

Is it realistic for used P3s to sell for 80% of retail value when they don't have a warranty, you don't know if they've been tinkered with, you don't know if they are 100%, and the possibility of not getting a cable or part that comes with it when you purchase NIB? I'm in the market for P3 but
