And the KIO3B will be available for K3 owners, should they wish to make
that change.
There is no doubt that the K3S is an improved radio, but whether those
improvements are worth the associated costs in selling a K3 and buying a
K3S is open for debate, given that many of the most important
improvements are available as upgrades to the K3. I think this actually
falls in line with what Eric and Wayne have always promised: There would
be an upgrade path available to current K3 owners whenever a new radio
became available. This seems to be the case. While K3 owners cannot
upgrade directly to make their current K3 a K3S, the updates available
get us pretty close. And that's fair enough, in my mind anyway.

The other change is the KIO3B which provides the option of an
internal USB interface for radio control and USB CODEC ("sound
card"). A traditional RS-232 interface is more flexible and a
*high quality* external sound card or *well designed* audio
interface *may* provide a somewhat lower noise floor (better
SNR/dynamic range). Most users will probably not notice a
performance boost unless they are using one of the notoriously
"dirty" (cheap) amateur products.
