I have a friend who doesn't like the K3 because of the SSB audio...said he likes his FT1000D much better. I happen to have a FT1000D in the shack so I tuned both receivers to the same station with both radios on the same speaker (with A/B switch). Then I adjusted the RX equalizer on the K3 until it sounded like the FT1000D...I then had my friend come in and close his eyes and did the A/B comparison...and he couldn't tell the difference. So, yes, the K3 will require some adjustment to be pleasing to any particular ear but it's pretty easy to do if you want to. (Now he doesn't like the K3 because it's too small. I'll remind him of that when it comes time to send his radio off to be repaired.) 73, Greg-N4CC
