What do you mean, David? The K3 had a nearly 15 year run as Elecraft's flagship transceiver and is still being serviced within the limits of parts availability. K3S was a mid-life update, not a new design. It had a few revised boards and they were available to retrofit to the earlier K3 units. Other updated boards came along prior to K3S and were also retrofittable. In my 60+ years of ham radio, the K3 stands out as the longest-living, most modular, most upgradeable radio of all, by a wide margin. I have no reason to expect anything less of K4.
