[Elecraft] K3s or K3

[Gee]

I think we can quantify 2X improvements. We could take it literally as in twice as sensitive on receive. But that is meaningless because it doesn't add value to any radio when your noise floor is at -110 dbm. 

Perhaps we of the SDR era should place more value on features rather than enhancements. I can do 99% of what I do with my K3 with my Collins KWM-380. The big (2X) difference between the two is features. I would say that the K3 easily has twice the features of the Collins so yeah, in that respect, the K3 is 2X better. Does it make the K3 more capable than the Collins? No, of course not, if I only consider that each transmits a signal that can be heard and can hear a signal above that -110 dbm noise floor. 

So, K3 or K3s? I am keeping my K3. And the Collins.
