Yes it is. I would have bought used as well, but the cost of a used item was so close to a new item, I decided to go new. The resale value of Elecraft equipment is about 10 to 15 percent higher than most other rigs... Which if you look at it from your point of view, buying used you will loose very little money if you decided to sell. Careful purchasing will net you a vary nice rig for less than new cost. It's your call if you want to take what inherent risks there are, in used purchases. I can say that I would trust the Elecraft crowd here a lot further than any other group though... All seem to be a decent sort, and all seem to be straight shooters. -- 73's, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) For software/hardware reviews see: http://www.nk7z.net ______________________________________________________________ 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 je...@carolinaheli.com ______________________________________________________________ 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
