Imagine what'll be  possible in DSP technology ten years 
hence!  Same with display  technology, and networking interfaces.  Who 
would want a 10 year old  K3?  Not me!

Since the K3 is modular, I would presume plugging in a  new DSP board would 
supply whatever horsepower is needed.  We'll be  replacing boards and software, 
not entire radios.

If I get to enjoy my K3  for 5 years and sell it for half what I paid, I 
still got a bargain - my hobby  only cost $1,200/5 = $240 a year or the equivalent 
of a couple of rounds of  golf, two nice dinners out or a visit to the 
dentist.
