[Elecraft] K3S Quick Review

[Bill Frantz]

If the USB interface was built to simulate a USB hub with a 
RS232-USB converter on one port and a sound card on the other, 
there would no change in driver requirements for the computers 
and adding another sound card for the I/Q feed might be just a 
firmware upgrade.

I don't think we will see a K4 until the basic 8MHz IF 
architecture of the K3/K3s becomes obsolete.
Upgrade seems to be the Elecraft way.
