No.

The criticism is that someone is posting an anonymous review saying the K3 
SSB transmit audio is "terrible" *without* giving the company a chance to solve 
the problem. A company which has a hard-earned and well-deserved reputation 
for service, service, and more service. 

That is, if there even really is a problem - since the reviewer is anonymous, 
we don't know for sure if the "review" is for-real or not. *Anybody* can post 
a review on eham even if they've never even seen the rig they're reviewing.

Of course that's possible. Perhaps the rig was damaged in shipping, or, if a 
kit, assembled improperly.

Or perhaps there's something wrong with the test setup, and nothing wrong 
with the K3.

Perhaps - but why not contact the company and try to fix it? 

Whatever, their experience is still just

If, indeed, it's a real experience. We don't know for sure if "solardx" has 
ever been near a K3.
