This strictly my personal opinion, but I did not even consider "up-grading" my K3 by purchasing the newer boards. Mainly for this very reason. What ru gonna do with the old boards? They have practically ZERO value.
BUT, a good working K3, even if it doesn't have the super synth board etc., still has significant value. Maybe not quite as much as it did B4 the K3S came out, but I figured I could sell my 23XX S/N K3, buy a new K3S and come out ahead of upgrading with a couple new boards and throwing the old ones in the dumpster. This way, the "old" boards have not been converted to junk and a good K3 is still on the air. Also, I don't have to worry if some little known production upgrade slipped by me since my brandie new K3S has 'em all. Stated in different terms, I bought a K3S and sold my K3 for less of a $$ difference than if I had purchased the new version boards for my older K3. Not trying to start a fight, it's just my opinion. 73, Charlie k3ICH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
