Yesterday we had the first K3S check in for the Elecraft CW Net.
Comparing K2s, K1s, KX1s, K3s, KX3s, and the new K3Ss is fun :) It is
hard to tell them apart unless the owner tells you which they are running.

I wonder if anyone has received a new K3S yet??
Hi Joe,
We have shipped a few dozen, but some have not been received yet, and probably half were
kits, which take longer to come on-line. Some of those received have already been
mentioned on this forum, or on the Yahoo group (search for "K3S" in the
archives). But only a small percentage of our customers participate in the forum at any
given time.
In addition to forum comments, the first customer to post an eHam review of the
K3S created a product category for it:
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/12433
There are two reviews so far, both very thoughtful (and long -- proceed with
caution :)
We're of course very happy to see so many positive comments. There are also a
few minor negative points, typical of any product. We take these as
constructive input toward future improvements. One reviewer with a very
sensitive sense of touch (speculation on my part) commented that he could feel
the felt pad under the VFO knob. This pad is intended to create drag, and the
amount of drag is adjustable. But, haptics being in the fingers of the
beholder, I emailed him to discuss hypothetical alternatives.
I'm sure there will be additional postings and reviews soon. Meanwhile, we're
working out a few last annoyances in our shipping procedure in hopes of
shipping more quickly.
We'll also have a new firmware release for the K3/K3S this week.
