[Elecraft] K3S

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

Looks good to me!

The real benefit of most of the included upgrades is that they are either already in my K3 (2xKSYNA) or they will be available for upgrade later on.  I don’t really have an issue with K3 audio, or knobs, or … 

Seems to me that an important question is the impact on overall performance of the lower RF and quantization noise with the K3S’s new RF board, since this is not being made available for retrofit into the K3.  Hopefully, Elecraft or an early K3S adopter with the ability to measure the difference will provide some hard information.  That’s pretty much going to be my decision point about whether to drop $$ on upgrading other parts of my K3 or just biting the bullet, reducing my ability to eat for a few months later in retirement, and upgrading the whole thing.  Or not … since given my usual operating habits, even the K3 is more radio than I need ;-)
