You know I was thinking that the K1 would have a much narrower AF bandwidth and if I remember right I think I remember seeing some caps in the feedback loop that would cause some stuff like that. But then in the K3 there are all the IF filters and DSP IF filters that should be doing that same thing. I mean I could mess with the RX EQ and narrow it all down around sidetone pitch but I don't find it to make a lot of difference because as I understand it a lot of those frequencies shouldn't be there anyway if you have the filter set pretty narrow. I usually run around 250Hz wide on both rigs when in QSO. And the K3 does have the 250Hz 8-pole filter installed.
I also don't really mess with the RX EQ much other than cutting out some of the high stuff that kinda grates on my ears. I find that not to be annoying when ever I listen to voice stuff and that makes for an acceptable all around RX EQ setting. I think that if there are ever per mode RX EQ settings I'll play with that feature more.
