If I was Eric and Wayne, I'd name the next base transceiver the K5, just
because.

Hi Buck,
I’m not entirely sure how to parse your response to my posting. But I can cover
several possible interpretations by pointing out that the K3S has all of the
same DSP features as the KX2/KX3, and then some. The K3S also has the
advantages of a superhet, with narrow crystal filters in the 1st IF protecting
the ADCs.
The P3 panadapter, meanwhile, is actually a direct-sampling SDR, with its own
DSP. It taps off the 1st IF, which is protected by the K3’s marrow RF band-pass
filters. The P3’s noise floor is extremely low because it is also preceded by
the K3’s preamp, LNA, and low-loss mixer.
