Bob,
Are you saying the K3 TX audio was
unsatisfactory? If so, that's the first report of
it I've heard (assuming everything is adjusted
correctly).
BTW -- re the thread topic: My K2 has always
received outstanding audio reports, though
nowadays I use my K3. But I never much liked the
MH2 mic due to the really strong spring in the PTT
:-) I use a Kenwood M43 with my K3 (and it is
"newly synthed").
I'm not familiar with the AB5N mods, though I may
have done something of the sort on K2 #380.

I've never owned or used a K2. However I have
assembled two of the K3 kits for others who felt
they were not capable of doing so. Thus I have
had the opportunity to use two different K3
radios. One of the very serious short comings,
and main reason for me not purchasing a K3
earlier, is the unsatisfactory quality of the
audio. To that end, with changes announced in
the K3S, specifically in the audio section, I
have a new K3S on order. Let's hope it performs
or it will be sold.
I've used other radios which do have great
audio, both on receive and transmit. I find it
very important that a good mike suited to the
user's voice and good microphone technique is a
large part of the key to great audio on SSB.
{key words here "{suited to the user's voice}
and {good microphone technique}.

Soon to be a new K3S owner.

Has anyone sent their Heil MH2 to AB5N Bob Nagy
for his upgrade? I've never been impressed with
my K2 SSB tx audio and I've done everything
Elecraft has recommended to improve the TX
audio, including sending it to Gary for
alignment -- Gary did a wonderful job aligning
my K2, but the K2 TX audio still leaves a lot
to be desired!!
Thanks for any advice you can offer regardnig
the AB5N mods.
