I have had my K3, #1025 for 2.5 years now and have made a few thousand SSB contacts. I have not had a single negative comment about the audio. My secret? Don't use any exotic microphones or external audio shaping devices. Don't jack with the available audio shaping. Don't engage in any long conversations with the group that talks continuously about audio shaping. In short, don't work at screwing up the audio and it won't be screwed up.

This concerns me. The k3 will be a huge investment for my income and I can't help but wonder if it will be the right one. I'm really not seriously considering anything else but I'm sure getting nervous about unloading the cash. I'm just a rag chewer so there's more to it than just making the contact. I have however listened to Hector's audio files and they all sound good. Happy QSO'ing.
