[Elecraft] K3S OR K3

[bs usb]

I know there was a discussion on this subject.  I ignored it because I 
was not interested in either radio.

Recent events have me interested in either a K3S or K3.

I know the K3 will have to be a used radio because new ones are no 
longer available.  I am not sure why that is.  Sounds like a marketing 
tactic.  I believe the K2 is still in production.

In any case a used K3 can be bought for significantly less than a new 
K3S.  I am not convinced that the K3S 'improvements' are worth the extra 
expense.  For instance, I don't need to be paying 2X for a 0.1X 
improvement.

Of course if the performance does go to 2X over a K3, I might be 
convinced to pay 2X.

So what was the conclusion of the discussion?  Do we have a 2X 
improvement in the KS3 over the K3 or is it more like 0.1X?
