I echo Dave's remarks, though I have the 8-pole 400Hz filter. Being in VT made me the focus of several "spot pileups," but I experienced none of the "desense" issues that someone reported on the reflector. There were numerous "wide" stations, which caused me to tailor the RX EQ settings in an effort to further reduce the audibility of their key clicks.
All in all I can say that the K3 (built in January) performed flawlessly. The only item on my wish list is an outboard tuning device to sit on the desk to the left of the keyboard (like my former Omni VII). 48 hours is a long time to reach up to the rig (on a shelf at eye level above the laptop screen) and the keyboard "up/down arrow" facility isn't flexible enough (station spacing on the band is fairly even, so you want to "zip" up the the next station and then "slowly" tune it in). I can see that I'm going to wear out the paint above the bezel where the fingers of my right hand rest while my thumb rotates the dial.
