[Elecraft] Difference between a K3 and a K3S

[AB1DD]

Mike,

You don't get the new knob and bezel!

Seriously, You don't have the new i/o board, with it's sound card built 
in and USB connectivity. There are a couple other things changed on the 
mother board that you can't get anyway with out buying a K3S. They 
weren't showstoppers for me. There is a second preamp, more att. levels, 
built it ATU will bypass, better speaker amp, Fast rx/tx switching, 
extended 630 and 2200 meter bands. There might be more that I can't 
remember, but the synth and i/o board are the biggest. There was a chart 
on the Elecraft website but I don't know where it is now.

Hope this helps

73,
Carl
