I have a friend who doesn't like the K3 because of the SSB audio...said he
likes his FT1000D much better. I happen to have a FT1000D in the shack so I
tuned both receivers to the same station with both radios on the same
speaker (with A/B switch). Then I adjusted the RX equalizer on the K3 until
it sounded like the FT1000D...I then had my friend come in and close his
eyes and did the A/B comparison...and he couldn't tell the difference. So,
yes, the K3 will require some adjustment to be pleasing to any particular
ear but it's pretty easy to do if you want to. (Now he doesn't like the K3
because it's too small. I'll remind him of that when it comes time to send
his radio off to be repaired.) 73, Greg-N4CC

That's what I've heard before. What's the reason, and is there a mod to fix
that?
