Thanks for all of the confirmations that my mind is not yet OTH. :-)
No matter how you look at it, this is STILL and BY FAR the best deal in serious ham radio going (except maybe for the K2/qrp version sans all the extras - which is my "other" radio until my second K3 arrives...in the next month or so?). If any of you "out there" are still on the fence about the K3, I'd BUY IT NOW. For me, it is a no-brainer that the K3 itself will see a price increase...it's just "too cheap" for what you get and "way too cheap" compared to the market. Of course, YMMV depending upon how you define "serious." de Doug KR2Q PS...I don't mean "cheap," I mean "inexpensive." _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

*sign*, I missed the boat again, so to speak.
I ordered just the K3/10 as a way of reserving my place in line. I figured I'd add the 100 watt PA later. Well, guess which part just went up in price! Of course, I'm making an assumption that the price at the time of my order is the price that I'll pay when it is delivered but since I put $0 down, that may be a bad assumption. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - - K3 wave 3 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Keith,
... and I held off on ordering the FM filter which is b/o'd. I'm sticking with the K3/10 though. The price increases are no surprise. Might have expected a "order now before price increase" notice. But I would be very surprised if they increased our prices from what was invoiced, deposit or no. 73, Drew AF2Z On Thu, 31 Jan 2008 06:12:38 -0700, you wrote: >*sign*, I missed the boat again, so to speak. > >I ordered just the K3/10 as a way of reserving my place in line.

You and me both! :( I can't really use the PA here, being limited to attic antennas positioned about 1m above my head. I can't afford to cook what few brain cells I have remaining! But I figured I'd complete the K3 eventually in case I find myself in a different situation some time in the future. Same with the 2nd RX. Don't really have a need for it here, though diversity reception would be interesting. So I thought I'd wait until it is available off the shelf, rather than take a place in the queue in front of someone who really needs it. Well, I've been saying the K3 is too cheap for a long time, and given the current economic situation I guess price rises are inevitable. It's still the best value for money radio available.

Any time we change prices, the new prices only apply to orders received
after change. Orders placed before a price change keep their original pricing. 73, Eric WA6HHQ ====== Darwin, Keith wrote: > I ordered just the K3/10 as a way of reserving my place in line.
