Actually, way back when the K3S was introduced, we poked a lot of fun at not being able to distinguish the new K3S from the possessive of a K3 or the quantities of K3Ss. Those of us involved in those exchanges were clear when Wayne "suggested" that we use K3S (capital S) for the new radio when posting here to avoid confusion. The problem exists because, for marketing and registration issues, Elecraft elected to use a *smaller font capital S for the S in K3S*. If you think about it, you will notice that we have no choice of a font selection here on this reflector for a smaller capital S. So, the obvious fix for here was to use K3S (capital S) for the new radio. I think Wayne tried to explain that back then and some new users just don't understand why, and consequently, attempt to mimic the artistic expression of the new radio graphic logo. If you look closely at the Elecraft web site you will see that much of the new literature and reference to the K3S on the site has begun to evolve into the K3S (capital S) probably for the sake of clarity..
Wayne may jump in to clarify, but that's what I recall.
