[Elecraft] Is there a good reason to buy a K3S instead of a used K3 ?

[Phil Wheeler]

I'm sure others will weigh in, Jerry, but IMO from 
a performance standpoint no -- so long as you have 
(or add) the new synth board in the pre-owned K3.  
Of course, there are the usual used vs. new issues:

  * No warranty
  * Potential defects which have arisen in the used K3

Now if you work 6 meters or are very fussy about 
your RX audio, the K3S has pluses, though most 
(all?) of those can be addressed by upgrades which 
are (or will be) available to the K3.
