[Elecraft] K3s vs KX3 Quedtion

[Terry Brown]

My first Elecraft rig was the K2,  I then bought what has become my base station; a fully loaded KX3, KXPA 100 and PX3.

 I got tired of all the cable interface problems with KXPA not working and the cursor not showing up on the PX3 if I took the KX3 portable (always a lot of replugging and reseating cables to finally get it to work. )

I bought a KX2 for portable ops as a result.  

I guess I’ve drunk too much Elecraft Koolaid because I keep looking at the K3s.  To buy a fully outfitted K3s and P3 would set me back about $6k.  I am 99 percent a cw operator. Once I became proficient in CW several years ago, all digital modes ceased to be of interest, as did SSB. 

So with that background,  I would like someone with both the K3s and KX3 to tell me what features the K3s has over the KX3 that would realistically make that $6,000 purchase worth doing. 

Thanks so much!
