Probably not if the K3 had the new synthesizer installed. There might
be a slight difference/improvement in overall speaker audio quality due
to the updated audio amplifier but there is nothing "wrong" with the
speaker amplifier in the K3.
Even if the K3 had the old synthesizer, you will probably not notice
a significant difference unless there is a very strong (S9+60 dB)
relatively close when trying to work someone at the noise level.

Good points all around so far.
My goal is DXCC/WAS then work DXCC for each band/mode. I aspire to primarily do
CW but am currently re-learning the code with the goal to be armchair copy over
20wpm (we'll see how that goes).
The opportunities I have are limited antennas currently and we may yet move in
the next 1-5 years. Currently running a buckmaster 7 band OCF 300w version
directed towards EU. The short term plan is to construct some better receiving
antennas (vertical loop perhaps? Not enough room for proper beverages). Long
term plan is a crankup/foldover tower with two or more elements on 40/20/15 as
high as I can get it.
At 50 my goal is to buy the last HF rig I'll need (hopefully).
If I had a K3 and a K3S side by side with the same antenna, properly adjusted
and tuned, could I hear a difference in signal quality, noise....etc.. ?
Thanks in advance.

No brainer — buy the K3S if money is not too much of a problem!
But, if you use your brain and maybe factor in the difference in cost, a K3 is
a great radio too. However, if it were me in the same situation I would go for
latest and greatest equipment.

returning to the hobby and looking hard at the K3S. So much has
changed that I'm trying to catch up.
Thanks in advance.
