Not quite right. The K2 was first - named after the mountain.
The K1 came later, followed by the KX1.
Then came the K3. The KX3 came after that - then the K3S, and finally,
the KX2.

Hi all,
It’s very obvious to me. Elecraft began with a K1, then “updated” to a K2
(which I am building). Then they “updated” to a K3, and all the new mods that
go on it. So, it’s very obvious to me, that the new “updated” radio should be
called (ready for this?), THE K4 !
It naturally follows with their earlier naming scheme.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] whats a updated K3 called?
OK I thought this was just a fun thing, I did not know it was actually a
serious thing.
Frankly a K3 is a K3 and a K3S is a K3S. The difference in each radio
can vary wildly based on what the owner has installed in the radio as
far as options go. That is the bottom line. To me the K3S options
that are available for the K3 are nothing more than additional options.
As for making a used purchase, the SN is critical.

One would think that K3s represents multiple K3 radios. As in Plural of K3.
I am sure that it causes some confusion to many who read the Elecraft reflector
or
other places where the radios are discussed.
I do thank Wayne and Eric for a list that says. The new radio has the following
differences to the K3 radio. As well as the portions of the K3 that can not be
upgraded to equal the new K3S radio.
