Re: K3s and K3S

It is really quite simple;

The plural of an Elecraft K3S is K3Ss

The plural of an Elecraft K3 is K3s.

I, too am bothered by careless grammar and misuse of apostrophes and am glad to see others defend proper usage of the English language.

In modern American English, an apostrophe is an indication that the letter 's' is about
to occur.

Re: K3s and K3S

What i really find hard to get sorted in my mind is the part numbers being
used.

Call me dumb but some part numbers confuse the heck outa me.

I looked at the order page last night and for the life of me could not
figure out what i woukd really need vs want.

This from a guy who didn't order a microphone with my k3 back in the day.

The look on my face when i unpacked the box must have been priceless....for
everything else there is Mastercard....:-)
