[Elecraft] KRX3A vs KRX3

Either that, or it's an EVOLUTIONARY product that builds on all of the 
work that's been done on the K3.

The model number and the list of changes suggests that.

If the radio was a brand-new, ground-up design, I'm sure it'd be a K4, 
not available immediately as is the K3S.

Somewhere I noticed that the firmware would be compatible between the K3 
and the K3S.  That suggests smaller changes, not big changes.

If the changes are small, there is little incentive to dump your K3 and 
rush to get a K3S.
