situation. I have an Elecraft K3 setup: K3 transceiver; Pan Adpter; KAT 500
tuner; KPA 500 , 500W power amp. All Elecraft, all plug compatible.
In January in the middle of a QSO, the Elecraft transceiver stopped working. I
got return authorization and returned the transceiver to Elecraft for service.
They say that because of the number of units returned to them, it will be
another 2 months before they can get around to mine. So I'm off the air for 3
months..
So what to do? Give Elecraft $5000 for a new K4; Buy a Yaesu FT Dx 10 with a
very good receiver but is not easily plugged into the Elecraft K line; Buy an
Icom 7300 which I have familiarity with and will be easy to attach; Go on eBay
and buy a used K3 and hope that it works; or buy something else?
When I get my K3 back, I either will keep what ever I buy now as a spare to use
when the K3 fails again or sell off my entire K line and migrate away from
Elecraft recognizing that their service is not like to improve and that I have
alternatives.
Advice please. Thanks.
