I have no grrrrr feeling at all. Two of my K3s date from 2007 and have 
two RX, a third from about 2009 with single RX. I put the new synth 
boards in all three. For convenience, I changed out the transverter 
boards in the older radios to get the new preamp.  For an investment of 
about $1K, I have upgraded three 8 year old rigs to 90% of their latest 
model.

I have no intention of selling anything. I have no interest in the new 
KIO3B unless they have fixed the Pin One Problems. The USB port doesn't 
interest me. I'll wait to hear about the other upgrades.
