Hello Trevor, The audio of K3 may be ok for CW but it is only acceptable for SSB voice mode. Comparing K3 with my Icoms, I would prefer the audio from my Icoms. Having said that, I still used K3 in the recent IARU contest because of it excellent selectivity. I used CM500 during the contest. Actually, I was not quite care about the audio during the contest as long as I could copy weak signals among the big guns. Apart from audio, the manual notch of K3 is NOT within AGC loop and I consider it is the major short coming of its design. During the contest, I had a strong carrier adjoining my desire weak signal, the strong carrier desensed the AGC making the copy difficult. K3's manual notch was useless in this situation. I eventually chose the turn off the AGC to cope with this difficult suitation.

I will mainly be using a headset as DXing is my main interest.
