At this point, that fix was a long time ago. Elecraft has been working on
the K3 for what, seven years now. Any complaint made first 5 years ago is
likely long since fixed, though some, with one complaint fixed, seem to
take little joy in that and immediately look for something else to complain
about.
Some people still have a theoretical complaint about one device in the
analog RF/IF RX string, but I have never been able to hear anything they
were complaining about.
I'm retired from a long career in pro audio (including a lot of
recordings of acoustic jazz of the highest musical quality) and time in
broadcasting. My ears and brain know the difference between broadcast
audio, recording quality audio, and ham radio audio.
I mostly work CW, but do SSB and RTTY for contesting and DX chasing, as
well as WSJT modes for small signal work. My K3s were bought new and
have serial numbers in the range of 800 and 1800 (i.e., the first year
of production) and get all the firmware updates. I've never been
bothered by what I've heard coming out of good quality headphones
connected to my K3s, nor with the audio that I'm transmitting.
As Riley Hollingsworth has said on more than one occasion, if you want
to transmit broadcast quality audio, buy or go to work at a broadcast
station. And I will add, if you want to listen to broadcast or recording
quality audio, turn on you home entertainment system.
