What's "different" about the K3 is its outstanding usability. With a single front panel control, HI CUT, any SSB bandwidth can be quickly dialed in, maintaining optimum intelligibility. With the few prior generation radios I tried narrow SSB filtering on, there were obscure menu settings and/or IF controls that were much more complicated to set for the same result. Some users never figured out the appropriate settings and thus concluded it didn't work.
