[Elecraft] K3s and K3S.

[G4GNX]

Not quite true. :-)

K3's could also be a contraction as in "The K3's the best transceiver in the 
World".

However, the "S" is a capital letter so the contraction would have to be 
"The K3S's ....................." which almost certainly wouldn't be used 
because it's cumbersome and it's far easier (and sounds better) to say "The 
K3S is ...........".

I disagree, Wunder. "K3's" is possessive (as in, "...the K3's wonderful
receive sensitivity..."), not plural. Maybe we need to convince the Elecraft
powers that be to rename the K3s as the K3S (capital "S"), so we can tell
the difference. :-)

And, for the record, I was a middle school English teacher in a prior life
and have always been something of a grammar cop.  :-)
