K3 is below par on SSB. I have owned one for years, using it more than 95% on

Ah, the brand wars re-emerge again...
While every brand must be tailored to the operators voice and use (rag chew vs
DXing), it has been my observation that the K3 is certainly a cleaner
transmitter on phone than most Yaesu transmitters which are generally wider
using both side bands (easily se

Many contesters with large budgets use K3 to win or obtain top scores in SSB
contests. This means that K3 is competitive on SSB with other radios, and
its flaws in SSB if any are balanced by its advantages.
Early K3 had large AF distortions, fixed by a simple modification.

When I was active, I often got unsolicited positive comments on my audio

Having used a K3 for a few weeks sometime back, and now having a K3S on
my desk for about 3 years, I can attest that there is a noted
improvement and difference in the SSB receive audio with my K3S. I did
wait on buying a K3S but I did so, only after learning of the improved

I believe what Frank is referring to is not Tx audio, but receive audio during
times of very heavy band loading, which pretty much occurs only in busy
contests such as CQ WPX SSB last weekend. During these times stations are
basically on top of each other or very closely spaced. We tend to hear
Jack beat me to the comment I was going to make. Far be it from me to
contradict a seasoned contester like W3LPL, nor to dismiss the comments of many
others, but I wonder how many "the K3 sounds bad on SSB" comments occur because
of operator error in setting the AGC and gain controls improperly?
Al,
How about sharing your settings?

Hi all! I'm a new happy K3 owner. I configured my K3 with my old Yaesu-7000
linear.
K3 with linear is OK on CW mode, but on SSB mode, the linear is shutting
down oftenly, with LED "Protect" blinking even with less power feeding.
Have EXT ALC ON.
Does anyone, who uses same linear, had same probl
