Hi Joe, I received my K3S last week SN 10057. I cannot give you an A-B comparison against the original K3 as I never had one. One thing I can comment on though A to B, is about the speaker audio between the K3 and K3S as I was exposed to several K3's at field day. The speaker audio is MUCH cleaner with better gain and no distortion. I am running the speaker out to a pair of Polk book end speakers (passive) from a surround sound entertainment system. Very clean audio. The internal speaker also presents a very clean, loud, undistorted quality. Any other comparisons would be compared against my previous Icom ProIII, which so far is night and day! I have the following roofing filters set up. 6Khz, 2.7Khz, 500hz and 250hz. I am amazed at how tight this receiver is with these roofing filters, and the flexibility of all RX options compared to what I was using. With regard to the preamps, I can only compare to ProIII, and the S/N with pre amp 1 or 2 in has a much higher signal level to noise floor increase. Very clean. I am still in the learning mode at this time! 73 Gene, N9TF K3S - 10057
