Don,
While perhaps "obvious," the models you describe are not updates of previous
versions in the order as W3FPR pointed out in a subsequent message. Those
radios are very different from each other in many aspects, especially
performance. Although, each is considered by most to be a top performe

Hi all,
It's very obvious to me. Elecraft began with a K1, the
For those who dwell far to the right of the decimal point (rather than in
caves), I suppose there could be a whole alphabet of suffix designations. My
precise intent was a light-hearted, generic characterization. My K3 (Vintage -

Except, it doesn’t actually MEAN anything. Unless you’ve been living in a cave
since you bought one, almost every K3 is “upgraded” to some extent. It doesn’t
solve the basic problem — a K3 (or even K3S to a lesser extent) needs to
specify precisely (1) what published mods have been installed,
Bernie, AF9US beat me to it. I thought K3U for updated or K3+.
It would only designate it has hdwr updates but not which ones
specifically. If selling, those should be listed by the seller and
clarified whether self-installed or Elecraft-installed, which might
matter to some buyers.

The term 'Vintage' is often used on eBay to impart certain aspects of an item.
A K3S might be 'Modern.'
An updated K3 could be 'Modernized Vintage.'

Couldn’t agree more. I’ll wager there is at least one early K3 out there with
a new synthesizer board and none of the published K3 updates installed. Sure
.. it’s “upgraded”, but what is it?
The whole “I have a K3S and you have a mere K3” bit of puffery going around is
just … well … puffery :
All this is fun and good, but if you are selling it, it needs to be
listed as a K3 SN with the specific upgrades enumerated - so the
buyer knows what he is buying.
I have run into this problem many, many times with the early K2s - they
are listed as being upgraded, only to find out (for i
One would think that K3s represents multiple K3 radios. As in Plural of K3.

other places where the radios are discussed.

Clarification:
The Tentec Omni VI Plus is not the same as the Tentec Omni VI, opt 3.
There is a difference, in model number and performance and features.
Thus from my take, a K3 upgrade is just that, a K3 that has the
recommended factory upgrades installed. And a K3S is a K3S that can

I'd say it is called and "updated K3". The K3S is different and my

What’s an updated K3 to be called?
This is a no-brainer!
You guys love to analyze — even to the point of OT! Analyze this! (Love the
movie!):
My suggestion is: K3U. It is simple, bears nice resemblance to the
manufacturer’s existing model naming scheme.
