Thanks!

Links provided by John, KC7DRI provided enough info for me decide I did not need the enhancements. I run two LP-Pan SDRs off the first IF's of my K3 main and sub-receivers in diversity mode to provide dual IQ streams to my computer so having an internal soundcard is no use. The USB/RS232 conversion cable works FB for keying my radio.

Plus I have the PR6-10 which works well for 10m-6m and Digout-1 is handy function for connecting my remote 6m preamp for eme.

I would buy a K4D except my K3 is working fine for my application as IF radio on 50-MHz thru 10-GHz. I promise my wife when I bought the K3 in 2010 it was the "last one". Yeah, she didn't really believe me.

Getting to the age where investing in ham radio stuff is not really a good long-term investment. Bought a new F250 diesel truck and 30-foot 5th wheel trailer in 2016/2017 and made two trips with it. Can't leave AK this year due to corona-virus so will be second summer it has been parked. Beginning to doubt wisdom of that purchase. (roughly $70K).

Lots about this option, but what exactly does the upgrade provide over the standard board?

My K3, SN4340 dates from 2010 so assume it has a KIO3 board (not sure if A or B version). Trying to determine if I want/need the upgrade.

I did add EXREF, TCXO3, upgraded both Synth boards and Gen Coverage filter to cover 475-KHz (630m) band. I have the subRx installed.
