My K3 sounds great on BCB/SW AM reception - in fact I'm listening to it right now. I have the FM filter and the DSP BW cranked up to the maximum. It reads 10 KHz, but I am using far from the latest version of firmware.
I'm using the West Mountain Comspkrs on the rear speaker jack. They are powered speakers, but work just fine with the audio level on the speaker output. This allows me to control the volume with the K3 audio gain and the stereo output nicely showcases the AFX effects. I can highly recommend these speakers - quite a value for the $ and supposedly shielded for RF. I have a single Fostex 6301B connected to the line out for a "center channel". This allows for a variable insertion of some additional high end to brighten up the sound if desired. The overall effect is quite pleasing. I also use it sometimes for casual operating, but always phones for contesting. The only popping/clicking issue I know of is if you have the noise blanker or noise reduction engaged with a strong (20 over 9 or above) signal. Keep them off. 73 ...
