K3IOB What do I gain by upgrading?

[Elecraft mailing list]

I was curious as to what I would truly gain if I upgrade my K3 to the new K3IOB?


Thank you

Nothing that improves the formidable K3 performance.

But still:
I could run the audio over USB instead of analog,
I could sell the usb-serial converter for CAT

For me the over the top price is a showstopper.
I'll keep my very cheap usb serial converter and audio cables. This old
concept is a killer and performs very well. Works immedidately with any
pc that I connect my K3 to. Never a driver issue.

Agreed Arie,

For me using USB into a MicroHam device connected to my K-Line gives much more
flexibility.

But, before anyone writes in - at a price !
