Keith: Please read Wayne's reply again.
Note that he says that this is an issue with the internal audio amplifier driving UNPOWERED speakers. Two things: 1) with the internal speaker, you cannot hear the issue at all 2) with POWERED EXTERNAL SPEAKERS connected to line out, you bypass the internal audio amplifier and cannot hear the issue at all. So the solution is; if it bothers you, do not hook up external speakers,to the internal audio amp, use headsets or external powered speakers (as I do) on the line out connector. Also consider that if what you propose was put into practice, the value of your early rig would suffer. You may be independently wealthy, and may not care... But with two kids in college a car payment and a mortgage, I certainly do care. Thank you Wayne, for insuring that my investment holds its value.

"As always, our goal is to continuously improve the K3 in a way that is applicable to units in the field. If we find a practical way to achieve a further significant improvement in the audio channel, we'll certainly make it available." Why would you not make improvements to the K3 just because they can not be applied to older units? I'm not sure what is to gain by holding back improvements. As a early K3 owner I would love to see a better K3 offered. I would have a choice to keep my early K3 or replace it with a improved unit. Radios evolve all the time. It is disappointing to know a better K3 could exist but doesn't because a new K3 may be better than the an older K3. That's just wrong. IMHO.
