- perceived RX and TX audio If you don't like the audio from your K3 - you don't have to keep it! With all the various AGC, DSP, and filter settings - and the two equalizers - _your_ K3 can be made to sound any way _you_ want it to sound.

I don't believe that is totally accurate. I'm guessing you're not an active contester. The K3 is pretty good, but it most definitely does not have infinite capability to suit any situation. Last I checked, low level pass band mixing was still an issue, as is the hard audio limit for some.

I received a Bose mini soundlink speaker system for my iPod as a gift from the family. One day, I plugged it into the rear headphone jack of the K3 and tuned into a local AM BCB station playing oldies. It sounded terrific, with nice strong bass. I now use it for all of my K3 operating (which is
