[Elecraft] K3s pre-purchase question

Hello Elecraft subscribers, I've been a ham for quite some time as a Technician class using 2-meter. I'm retired now with more time for my hobbies. I'll be taking my General class exam soon and moving on to HF. I've built many Heath kits in the day, so the Elecraft kits are striking

[Elecraft] Thanks!

Thank you everyone!! I received many replies on what to purchase, what options, used, new, etc.. I have a lot to go through now, I'm very glad you all took the time to give me so many ideas! I wasn't expecting such a great response, hams are the best! -Tom
