Rich,
I wrote to Elecraft in late October 2021 to inquire
about the status of options and upgrades. I don't
think Madelyn reviews the many emails on the
official reflector, but she kindly answered my query
via direct email.
As of early November, the estimate is 4-6 months
for most K3/K3S
Madelyn, can you check on the Status ofMy K3 upgrades? Thank you.RichKQ9L

Wayne and Eric have on numerous occasions stated in this forum that they will

Hi Tom,

to purchase a $5K radio, that will not be supported, after a new model
comes out", thought process... Hams have long memories... Elecraft is
Tom and all,

XVseries, so as long as repair parts are available, you can expect
service will be available for the K3/K3S in a similar manner.

I don't think that linkage necessarily holds water. I think it makes
sense for Elecraft to stop selling upgrades (after one last round) so
they can focus their attention on producing K4s. On the other hand,
