[Elecraft] whats a updated K3 called?

[Dick Dickinson]

For those who dwell far to the right of the decimal point (rather than in caves), I suppose there could be a whole alphabet of suffix designations.  My precise intent was a light-hearted, generic characterization.  My K3 (Vintage - Upgraded) is not currently up for sale.

Except, it doesn’t actually MEAN anything.  Unless you’ve been living in a cave since you bought one, almost every K3 is “upgraded” to some extent.  It doesn’t solve the basic problem — a K3 (or even  K3S to a lesser extent) needs to specify precisely (1) what published mods have been installed, (2) what factory mods have been installed, and (3) what options it contains.

I’d certainly never buy someone’s K3U thing without that information … with a “U” or not.

This is just nuts …
