[Elecraft] K3 vs K3s..."to be or not to be an "s"

[Gary]

Way to go Don.

Smart phones are a sneaky way for manufacturers to show us elder intellectuals how much of a hipster we could be.

All the above is very much tongue in cheek for those who have sensibilities....:-)

Freedom of choice is almost the last thing left that is free in VK

It will be a long time before I buy an iPhone 'anything'.
I spend most of my time at home, and we live in a 'shielded box' (stucco 
with wire mesh) where I cannot get a connection - although some spots do 
provide 1 bar.  Yes, we are in a rural area.
As a result I do not own a Smartphone.  I do have a cellphone, but it is 
of the 'archaic' flip-phone type.  The XYL just an hour ago was in 
another building and wanted to talk with me, so she dialed my cellphone 
- I was in the basement at my workbench, and my phone did not even 
ring.  My phone is useful when I am away from home, but it does not 
provide the capability of the Smartphones.  But do I really need that?  
I have computer communications at home where I spend most of my time, 
and all the 'whizbangs' of Smartphones are useless to me unless I travel 
away from home.

I know that is not true for everyone, but that is the best I can do 
unless we get a cell tower with a sufficiently strong signal to 
penetrate my shielded house.

Just my personal situation - and is not valid for everyone.

73,
Don W3FPR
