I can only second Ed's comments. I, too, am a non-phone operator but SS did seem to be a good time to wring out the K3 on that mode. It's true, the vox/anti vox is flawless. No first syllable clipping and no annoying drop outs. The K3 audio is so clean that its a real pleasure to listen to. Ed and I are both in the same rf environment, more or less; he's on a hill and I'm in the flatlands but the K3 did a remarkable job with the very strong local signals in SCV. I had only the stock 2.7 filter but if I were ever to get serious about SSB I would go for the 1.8 filter.
