On the other hand, just changing the synthesizer(s) in the K3 makes a
huge difference and is worth doing. Yes, there are plenty of other nice
things about the K3S, but I already had a good external preamp and no
need for a USB port.

In my opinion, up-grading a K3 accomplishes nothing but generating a few

Yeah, I know, the boards aren't really worth zero, but what do I do with
them?
Especially since as you know, an "up-graded" K3 still is NOT a K3S.
Gold fingers, built-in pre-amp etc., ae a couple that come to mind.
The only logical step to me, was to pull the accessories that were the same
and sell the radio.
Admittedly, I couldn't get as much for my K3 as I would have been able to if
the K3S hadn't been released.
But to me this is the normal cycle of newer radios. AND, I didn't have junk
parts to deal with.

Anyway, I'm happy now with my "new" K3S and my old K3 is still on the air
(somewhere?).
