[Elecraft] Difference between a K3 and a K3S

[Bill Frantz]

When I ordered the 100W card for my K3, the one delivered was 
the one for the K3S with the bypass relay.

As you got closer to the K3S radios, a K3 you ordered would have 
the more modern cards. Kinda of a gradual upgrade.

If you hava a late serial K3, it might be worth popping the 
cover to see what is in your radio.
