What is K3? Please note that I removed all variations of different
regulatory domains for a country when I converted the HAL reg code out
to db.txt format for CRDA. The intent was to provide a unified up to
date regulatory solution only. All variations that are "preferred"
should simply just rely on the old rules if these need to be
productized for whatever OEM/parnoid/stupid reasons. Please let me
know if you find a good reason to actually add these and if so please
consider adding them as custom regulatory domains which we do support
-- see the custom world regulatory domains on the ath module.

What is PS? Historically the Atheros HAL has used "PS" for Public
Safety but not that technically it is the ISO3166-alpha2 country code
for Palestine, did you intend to define that or Public Safety? If your
intent was to try to add Public Safety then consider using the custom
regulatory domains but then also try to figure out with marketing /
etc if we ever want to sell products to Palestine.
