RE; K3 to K3S Upgrade Opinions

Edward R Cole
Frank,

I opted to do a few updates:
New synth boards for both main and sub receiver
Mod to general coverage bw filter

I already have plenty USB/RS-232 conversion cables and prefer that
line audio go to the computer via external soundcards.  USB I/F would
require use of internal soundcard.

A brand new tailor-made four channel 192-KHz ADC/DAC is being
designed/produced specifically for digital modes and will require
baseband audio from a receiver.  It will interface the computer via
USB.  I'm on the waiting list for it.

I already have PR6-10 so not needing it to be internal.  I like the
bypass feature to connect a remote preamp.
I already have the EXREF and TCXO-03.

The rest are frills for my operating (non-HF).

Cost less than trading up.  If I were buying new, then definitely get
the new radio.
