As long as the K2 continues to sell, and the parts for it are available, 
Elecraft won't have any reason to discontinue it (unless they create 
something like a K2 Mark II to replace it).

I haven't priced the K2 and K3 recently but based on the last time I 
checked it out, a K2 with 100 watt output is about half the price of what 
it would cost (about $4000) to get a K3 with the features I would want. If 
I wanted all the K3 options the price goes up even more. I'm not active 
enough, or have enough disposable cash, to justify spending that kind of 
money on a K3 so I'm perfectly happy to keep my K2.
