[Elecraft] K3S VS: K4

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

In my opinion, the K3(*) will become a legacy product when it is no 
longer possible to add functions without changing the front panel.

There are already functions that aren't entirely obvious to the 
untrained operator (fortunately, if you want ESSB for example, you can 
learn the key sequence).

That is the argument for a touch screen interface -- if you need another 
button, or need to change a label, you can just draw it on the screen, 
without changing hardware.

I'm mildly curious about the front panel on the K3 vs. K3S for that reason.
