No one mentioned it, but if you already have a linear amp, you could drive it with the 10W model to a reasonable output. If money is a real problem, it's a way of getting a great radio for even less money. 73, doug ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Ele

Just to add my voice to the choir, go for the K3/100 kit with the stock filter. If the budget allows, the KAT3 antenna tuner is the best I've used. If for some reason you are not happy with it after a couple of months (impossible!), you can sell it for what you have in or even a little more s

Hi James, The basic K3 with no options is a fantastic value. You will save a couple hundred dollars by assembling it your self. No electronic assembly, just a lot of screws. The mantra is read the assembly manual, and follow the manual exactly. Elecraft manuals are far better than others I

James, You can order the basic K3/10 and it will do all modes. All the options can be added later, so you can get your feet wet with the basic K3 while deciding what else you will need for your operating preferences. The stock filter will work just fine as long as you are not into working on

The Base K3 comes fully equipped to do what you wish at 10 watts power. Opt for the 100-watt version if you need the power. The included roofing filter will work on all modes for reception; if you want to transmit AM or FM, you will need the corresponding AM/FM roofing filter. All other trans

Hello James! What would be the least expensive initial configuration for a new (factory assembled) K3? My operating preference is SSB, but I may try some of the digital modes at some point. Either the basic 10W unit, or the basic 100W unit will get you on the air. Just add an antenna, power s
