It is a simple answer, really. A factory built K3 and you're all set.

Subject: [Elecraft] K2 or K3
As some of you know, I've been looking at putting together a K2
station for portable RTTY/PSK31 operation. However, as I am looking
at the cost differences, I am now wondering if I might better off with
a K3. Here is my dilemma:
I am disabled and unable to solder because the medications I am on
make my hands shake like crazy. The person who normally builds kits
for me is unable to take on this task due to family and work
commitments. I have contacted three of the builders in the Elecraft
community and have received quotes ranging from $350 to $450 to do
what I want.
Therefore, by the time I buy the kits from Elecraft and pay for
assembly, I am looking at $1270 to $1370 for a basic K2 with what I
need for data ops. For $1399, I can get a K3/10 with the same
features plus many extras and better performance.
Maybe I should also look for a used K2 but I am real picky on build
quality.
Any advice guys?
Thanks
- JT
