Where a particular rig lands on "The List" isn't the only consideration.
The K4 seems improved in a number of ways beyond its raw performance
compared to the K3. It is a more modern design (direct sampling) with
the ability to add extra features as needed. I'm not sure I'll be
upgrading soon, but the package is a lot nicer and the interface
improvements (band stacking, etc.) seem to be a real step forward.

Maybe I've missed an answer since I don't read all the posts but I'm
wondering if the K4HD's design should beat the K3S's on Sherwood's RX list.
I'm sure it will be at least a year before that list is updated with a
production K4HD so plenty of time to speculate. I have not seen any
detailed specifications out yet but it confuses me when I read that the K4HD
will have a K3S front end. I've got 3 K3's that are fully upgraded so maybe
the K4 line is just a nice product packaging idea and not a serious jump in
performance? As you can tell, I am no RF engineer but simply a numbers guy
who is interested in having a better performing rig purely for ego sake
because the K3 already supplies and outperforms my contesting skills
significantly.
Maybe this is an Eric or Wayne question.
Thanks,
