Good observations all. In addition, the K3 and K3S are FAR more
convenient to use with data modes, because computer I/O can remain in
place (at Line In and Line Out) without the need for replugging.

Terry,
I was in exactly the same situation you described. I decided to look
for a used K3 with the SUB-RX included, as well as narrow filters
(400Hz) and ATU. I was lucky enough to find one within my budget limits.
The main advantages among the many features of the K3 -at least to me-
are:
- tuning on SUB-RX is more fun since you will have all the filters in
the 2ndRX, while the KX3 has to switch off the roofing filter to allow
the extra 15kHz to be received.
- RX diversity. I can now cancel out fading or noise with a simple
horizontal indoor-loop. Amazing!
- AGC in one click.
- voice and AF recorder
- more possibilities with the noise reduction - it really digs out the
weak signals
- the external Preamp ( I also bought a used one) greatly improves
signals > 21MHz.
I'm not using the P3 but an external SDR receiver tuned to the IF
frequency.
