[Elecraft K3]Buying a K3

kd1na
Gary,
I have had a K3 for 2 years now (Serial # 934) and have found that getting this rig was the best thing I ever did.  You obviously have done your homework and done it very well.  Let me state that as a retired product support engineer and technical instructor for a company that manufactures atomic partial accelerators primarily for the semiconductor industry, supporting the product you manufacture is just as important as properly designing it.  Wayne and Eric have not only put together a world class team for Elecraft, they also seriously listen to their customers. Tell me about any Japanese ( and even some American) companies that do that on a regular basis.

I have had the honor  of working with Eric and his lovely wife at the Marlborough, Ma. at the Elecraft booth during this year's ARRL Convention. He is one of the most dedicated and helpful person I know. Having people like Eric and Wayne creating a company dedicated entirely to Amateur radio equipment of the finest quality and in kit form requires both expert design and a product support team that continuously goes out of their way to make sure the customer is listened to and properly taken care of.

Good luck on your choice of radio but I hope it is the K3.
