eBay



For grins and giggles, I did a search on "Elecraft". Not looking for anything, just want to see what's out there.

It looks like plain vanilla K3 100 Watt transceivers are going for roughly $1300.00 give or take a few hundred.

The K3S 100 Watt version is going for roughly $4000.00 give or take a few hundred.

PX3 Panadapters can be gotten for around $1000.00 to $1200.00 - although I did see one for $750.00

Windcamp travel cases for a KX3 and a battery for $250.00 to $300.00. Are you kidding me? $300.00 for a case from China?!?

Someone has a package going for a KX3, PX3 and KPA100 amp for $4000.00

A KX1 for $670.00 with an enticing Bencher paddle thrown in,

I think they need a new slogan - "Elecraft, it's not just a radio, it's an investment!" I have to admit, it makes me kind of wonder how these "I have one of each" guys do this? I had to sell off most of my radio farm including my K1 and my K2 (and a lot of other stuff) to afford the KX3 and amp that I have now. And as much as I love my KX3, I also have to admit - I do miss my K2 (because these two hands built it). That said, my KX3 was built from a kit, too - but it's not exactly the same.
