You may have noticed that QST recently reviewed the K3's performance

Also note that the K3 has stereo, 4-ohm-capable external speaker outputs. You

Hi Steve,
Not to throw cold water on this, but the original KSYN3 requires a ton of
firmware support, including a hand-tweaked table of thousands of PLL divider
