Let me add my two cents....the 3000 is superb. I have no experience with the K3 and only limited time logged with a KX3. The K3 is more expensive than the 3000 and its pan adaptor is available as an option as is its tuner. Transmit audio is about the same on both rigs. Receivers essentially equal. SRD better than knobs to me. No brainer....the 3000 at about $1700 wins in this comparison, hands down. Its only down side is six interconnects (power speakers, antenna, mic, firewire card, power supply, linear keying) which have been problematic here is Florida with lightening issues. Mine is not grounded and works quite well with the 7th possible transient spike inducer eliminated. Get the Flex....you can't go wrong! Jim Broaddus de nx4e, Panama City, Florida USA
