Until the FT-5K is actually released and a whole new set of issues become apparent. Based on glossy product brochures, it's all too easy to think that the "next big thing" is going to be the ideal transceiver -- and it's probably premature to think that VS has corrected any shortcomings of the K3 until the FT-5K's performance is actually measured and its features used by many operators. Myself, I'll be impressed if VS can simply deliver an audio stage with reasonably low distortion and low residual noise. Let's start there.
