The K3 is not actually different or it would be violating the laws of
physics.  To make ANY radio work using narrow bandwidths on SSB is simply a
matter of optimizing the placement of the filter passband in the voice
spectrum (as Ed states above).  The FT-1000MP, K2, Orion and many others can
be made to work with narrow filters.  I first discovered this on an MP I
used in the late 90s:
