[Elecraft] K3: Upgrade or replace

[Don Wilhelm]

Bill,

You are entirely correct, the K3 'as-is' is a great transceiver. Add the 
new synthesizer(s) and you will have most of the performance improvement 
available.
Look at the K3S FAQ for a good deal of additional information when 
considering whether to upgrade or switch to the K3S - or to keep your K3 
as it is now.

73,
