I don't know about the 'only' part of your question as I have a late K3 with the upgrade synthesizers; my headphones are CM 500's and I only operate CW. I have never heard any crackling or popping in my headphones either during contest or rag chewing, 80m through 10m. My AGC is always set to 'fast' and to Don's parameters. I do not recall hearing said 'crackling' with the original synthesizers installed.

It does not effect a straight unmodified K3?
