I am new to the K3 (about two weeks now) and it is such a sensitive and selective rig compared to my FT950 that I am constantly adjusting volume because DX comes in at levels I would not hear with the 950 especially since i can adjust NB and DSP so much more effectively, and then I get blasted when someone comes in with +20 signal. I don't have the preamp on either in most cases.
Guess I just need to be quicker on the volume dial. I will take it though since now I can actually hear those once non-intelligible signals. Nice problem to have.
