Yep. I bought the two K3s that remain on my operating desk today in 
2008. Upgrading to the new synth boards and new transverter board with 
the built-in preamp for 12-10-6M, bringing it up to about 90% of a K3S 
for a small fraction of the cost of a new rig. With any other mfr, I'd 
have to sell the rig for half-price or less and buy a new one.

The modularity that allows us to buy only the features we need, adds 
features provided by new hardware designs, and provides that inexpensive 
upgrade path is a big plus. So are the ongoing upgrades to firmware, 
always free!
