Hi Tom,
I doubt Elecraft will abandon the K3, or 3s. Why? All the owners of
K4's, (and any later rigs), would start to apply that to the "Do I need
to purchase a $5K radio, that will not be supported, after a new model
comes out", thought process... Hams have long memories... Elecraft is
aware of this.
Elecraft was kind enough to let everyone know, and build an ordering
process for one last set of addons for the K3/3s... I have not seen
Icom, or any other maker do that for any radio... I may have missed it,
but I am happy that Elecraft did that, and not worried...
As long as parts are available, I am sure Elecraft will do their best to
repair K3, and K3s rigs...
73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)

Given the termination of options and upgrades, I’m concerned that the same
thing will happen to K3/K3S service and repair. There are a lot of us here in
customer land that will need that capability well into the future, therefore
it’s loss or diminishment would adversely affect lots of folks. I attempted to
post this item on the K4 reflector and it was denied in part because it was off
topic; however, it seems to me that the increasing attention being paid to the
K4, has resulted in less attention going to the K3/K3S. So, I would like to
know how some of you out there feel about that?
Best 73,
