The biggest events I have seen are pretty important: The reversed 
polarity of the ALC voltage (K3 ALC polarity setup is not presently 
compatible with widely used amps from Yaesu and ICOM - perhaps 
incompatible with ALL amps requiring ALC, but I am not sure about 
that). This was discussed on the k3 yahoo reflector a couple weeks 
ago. Also the mention here  the other day of a similar polarity 
mismatch problem with a CW loopback feature for QSK (that I don't 
really understand).

Elecraft says they will develop a work around for the ALC problem at 
some future time. This ALC thing is a major item for AMP users trying 
to follow their manufacturer's instructions for setup.
