As far as I know, the new DSP board has NOT been made available. (I've asked about it time or two). Also the main 4-layer RF board has never been listed for upgrade, Which is a shame, on both.
I understand the main board — you would have to essentially re-kit the K3 to replace it, and then build the radio again. For many of us who built our K3 radios to begin with, it would be a couple day’s work. A lot of folks would have sent their radios back to get it installed, and Elecraft would have spent all their time tearing down and rebuilding k3s(or building a K3 over again from a bag of boards) instead of building K3(s)s .. How the heck do you differentiate between plurals with this radio :-) In any case, I understand (sort-of) why the new main board wasn’t an offered upgrade option. But I’ll still throw in my vote … be happy to buy one. I guess Elecraft needs to maintain some differentiation between versions. My own K3 is updated with all of the new available options (and historical updates) except for the new RF/tuner modules. I don’t really feel “left out” or “2nd class” (at least not for that reason) without a K3S. Grant NQ5T K3 #2091, KX3 #8342 > > From the Elecraft website, here is a FAQ comparing the K3S to the K3.
