Given that a decent stereo has a total harmonic distortion of something
less than .05 percent, you might be able to "hear" those distortion
products, but what would that mean? Most amateur communication is done
surrounded by noise or immersed in noise, with imperfect signals,
adjusted imperfectly. So, does that 3/10ths of a percent distortion
product really mean anything on the air? I don't know, but I'm guessing
it doesn't mean much, but I'm not an audiophile, so I might be dead wrong.

I watched the presentation again. Yes, Rob said the K3 was fixed in 2008. He also
said the fix wasn't as good as he'd like. It didn't compete with the <0.3%
distortion of the Icom 756 Pro III. So if you look at the distortion products at
44:20, would the average amateur (like me) be able to hear that?
