A few people like almost anything, a few people just don't like anything, 
and most people don't like a few things.

I prefer analog detection of weak signals in noise, but I can live with the 
K3 when it is adjusted to my liking. I don't like all the menus, and I 
especially don't like not being able to switch the preamp in and out on both 
channels with one button when in diversity.

As for transmit audio, there isn't a thing wrong with it. It can be adjusted 
to almost any taste, except those who specifically don't like the brand.

The K3 does some things virtually no other radio does properly concerning 
diversity and DX use, and it has excellent close spaced receiver 
performance, so for me there is really no other choice.
