Hi Tom,
If your current set up works well, why not just wait until the K4 is
being delivered. Then choose.
I have the same set up as you for the past ten years. Am happy to wait
for the call to come to me for a K4. I am in group 2.

The K4 has a complete operating manual built in, accessible by taping the "?"

supplement to the full owner's manual (in progress).
The built-in operating manual has small and large screen formats. It's a

I believe Rose posted previously that she would not be making soft cases for

While I have both KX3 and K3/P3 DX cases from Rose, I’m probably going to

I had a similar problem with a K3 this past March. My brother had his K3

There are protective diodes in series with both the internal batteries
