[Elecraft] whats a updated K3 called?

[Don Schroder]

Hi all,



It’s very obvious to me. Elecraft began with a K1, then “updated” to a K2 (which I am building). Then they “updated” to a K3, and all the new mods that go on it. So, it’s very obvious to me, that the new “updated” radio should be called (ready for this?), THE K4 !



It naturally follows with their earlier naming scheme.

OK I thought this was just a fun thing, I did not know it was actually a
serious thing.

Frankly a K3 is a K3 and a K3S is a K3S.   The difference in each radio
can vary wildly based on what the owner has installed in the radio as
far as options go.   That is the bottom line.   To me the K3S options
that are available for the K3 are nothing more than additional options.

As for making a used purchase, the SN is critical.
