It got me wondering why K1, K2 etc... Then I thought of y2k. My guess is they are using the K to stand for 1,000 which kinda makes sense. Would make more sense if it was 2K1, 2K2, etc... but more cumbersome.
So we now know what the end designation stands for but what does "LS" stand for and how about "P"?
