Here's the enhancements and improvements to the K3S

 From the K3S data sheet:
* Enhanced look and feel, with new LCD bezel, soft-touch VFO knob
* Ultra low-noise synthesizer for exceptional strong-signal receive 
performance and transmit signal purity (KSYN3A)
* USB port—integrates remote control and line-level audio, eliminating 
the need for a PC sound card and audio cables
* Second preamp for 12-6 m weak signal work (on included KXV3B module)
* Multiple attenuators, providing steps of -5/-10/-15 dB
* Lower-Loss ATU option with true bypass relay (KAT3A)
* Redesigned AF output circuitry for outstanding speaker audio
* Accurate, high-speed CW transmit even in SPLIT mode
* Coverage of the 630-meter band (~470 kHz), and lower

IMO - these are things that will make a good radio a great radio.
