The K3s and the K3 with new synths aren't "dead ends". The great majority of specs for both rigs are better than the K4 and will be until the K4HD comes out at three times the price. The K3 and K3s are only "dead ends" because of a business decision, not a technical one.

The K3 and K3S are dead ends --- they are frozen at their present capabilities. The K4 is a partially filled canvas that can improve over time. For example, the K4s I hear on the air still have, like the K3xs, that ugly popup in the unwanted sideband. They compare in this respect unfavorably with the lowly IC-7300. But the K4 will someday possess predistortion and consequently a pristine transmitted SSB signal. Unlike its predecessors, the K4 has an unlimited future. That's the nature of a full SDR. Chuck w8mqw
