Bob,
You will not have to relearn the menu even with complete firmware
upgrades. Things do not change THAT much. Sometimes a new function is
added, but you don't have to use it unless it interests you. Added
functions rarely change the operation unless you encounter that new
function in some way.
Even if you want to keep your operation the same, upgrades also do
contain bug fixes, so you should be taking advantage of those. If you
do not upgrade, who knows when you might encounter one of those bugs
that had been fixed long ago.
OTOH, if you are satisfied with the operation of your K3 and P3, you
don't have to do the upgrades. It will continue to operate as it is.
One big BUT - if you do encounter problems, one of the first steps to
possible resolution is to first do the upgrades to see if that corrects
your problem. If you contact support, that is likely to be their first
suggestion, especially if they recall a bug fix relating to your problem.
Elecraft gear just keeps getting better and better, and the really nice
part is that the firmware upgrades do not cost anything except a little
of your time. If you follow the instructions for upgrading, it is
normally painless.
