I have a couple of questions on the K3. 1) I gather there is no agreed standard for digital voice modulation (at the moment). AOR seems to be using an open standard that they ascribe to G4GUO. My question is does the K3 have the capability to internally encode/decode a protocol such as the G4GUO scheme (and continue performing its other "normal" functions)? Or will it be necessary to look to an external device such as AOR's in order to use digital voice modulation? This question is a "future feature" query.
2) Amplitude modulation. I assume that the K3 does not have a 50 watt class A amp modulating the 100 watt finals. I guess the K3 fully modulates a low level stage that (with linear amplification and mixing) drives the finals. My question is does this provide the same "talk" power as the old class C AM transmitters? Or is the carrier to audio envelope proportion different (compared to the "classic" AM signal)?
