Although I certainly covet this little radio, I have not decided if I can justify the purchase, or indeed afford it!

Not that I can afford it, but I could not find prices on the Elecraft website (which, along with many commercial amateur radio companies, is poorly designed visually).
I like the look of the new Ten Tec QRP rig, but I'm sure that is also going to be pricey.

for pricing (and ordering).
Hi Roger, so far I am satisfied with my FT817 and FT450. For the time being I can't afford it. But when I win the lottery this month, then I will buy this rig. I also read that the K3 is still the best Elecraft rig. 73 Paul

Thanks for the heads up on the KX3 pricing - I notice the rig is now shown on the main prices page.
Nice rig, but like Paul (PC4T)...when I win the lottery!
David, G8JGO
A mere 3db better in output power and price!
I'll stay with FT-817!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!!!!!!!
I'm not going anywhere near that radio for that price.
