This is not true. The K3/K3S firmware is designed to determine which modules are installed in your K3/K3S and use what it finds. There is no “lock-in”, you can use the latest code in your K3 (as I and many others do). To put it another way, we did not obsolete the K3. It is great radio and continues to improve with each firmware release.
