Hi I see no advantages over the K3, so why would you even consider this new model Kenwood? If it was a 1000 dollar radio that might be a good a reason for a change.
As I see it the Kenwood has less knobs and functionality on its front panel than the K3. The transmitter uses 12 volt devices so the IMD is probably going to be below acceptable standards. It does not look like the new Kenwood has remote direct internet control like the TS480. This is just a TS570S on steroids for the receiver, it aint gonna set the world on fire. All I am waiting for now is Icoms down conversion radio. I would not be surprised if they released something like the IC706 with a down conversion receiver just to be trendy. Despite what Icom says it will produce a down conversion radio. They had a good one the IC751A. It would be hard for Icom too brag about receiver performance when this cheap lowly Kenwood will kick the crap out of its $10K IC78000, not a good look in the market place! Stay tuned for the new movie, "Fiddler on the roofing filter"!
