I used to have TS-850 and FT-1000MKF. The processor in TS-850 was very good and in MKF not as strong but audio was nice. If you read some reports, ALC in 1000MP and probably other radios in the series is too fast and produces lots of IMD at high processing. ALC in K3 is very slow and thus avoids distortion but also the extra (useless) power that goes with distortion.
K2 IMHO beats both radios. I am amazed that even cranking COMP to 30 does not produce distortion but brings extra contacts. As mentioned before, set equalization first, MIC gain second, and crank up COMP. I use COMP of 15 in casual conditions, 20 as a norm, 25 for normal DXing or contesting, and 30 when things go tough. Never a bad report.
