[Elecraft] New K3S

[Keith Robinson]

Hello All,
I have K3S s/n 10027. I have had it since July 6th and I am VERY happy with 
the K3S.
It out performs any other radio I have ever used. I can't wait to get home 
from work every day so I can
use the radio.   The best Ham Radio purchase I've ever made!

Yesterday we had the first K3S check in for the Elecraft CW Net.
Comparing K2s, K1s, KX1s, K3s, KX3s, and the new K3Ss is fun :)  It is
hard to tell them apart unless the owner tells you which they are running.
     73,
         Kevin.  KD5ONS
