There is a difference in the K3 receiver audio quality and the K3S receiver audio quality.  Perhaps that is the reason the K3 is not preferred for SSB.

Frank, I’d like to know why a K3 is not great on SSB. Is it the receiver audio? 
Transmitter EQ?

Charles,



The most competitive contesters -- the subject of this thread -- will always
gravitate to the highest performing radios, not to their favorite brand.


The K3 design is dated, all of the other top manufacturers have introduced
much higher performing SSB radios in recent years. The K3 was a
revolutionary design when it was introduced many years ago, but no more.


Hopefully the new K4 will change the game in Elecraft's favor once again,
especially for the most competitive SSB operators.
