[Elecraft] What firmware will be loaded in the new K3S?

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Thanks Jim!   That's very good news.   Now just waiting on the K3S to 
show up at my door.    Maybe next week???????

I have the K3Utility on the computer and I have the Owners Manual in a 
binder and have had so for 4 weeks.  And I've read it several times too.
