[Elecraft] Upgraded K3 vs K4

[N4ZR]

Zackly!  As I told myself when buying myself a KPA-1500 for Christmas 
(I'm 78 and a widower), I'm spending my kids' inheritance, which they 
don't need anyhow.

73, Pete N4ZR

The K4 looks like a beautiful rig and I could afford it…but, I will be 80 in January so I consider how much use I could get out of a K4..:-(   If I see a barebones K3S at a good price though, hummm.
