Well, here's a little nugget of info to make it seem not so bad that you
have to wait. I've heard rumours that there have been a few hardware mods
made to the K3, unannounced on this list. They may or may not include
changes to lower TX spurii on 5MHz, a mod to improve TX/RX turnaround times
for modes like Amtor, and one to improve still further the close-in IMD
performance. These mods would involve changes to SMD components on the
board, so making them would be beyond the skills of most of us. The IMD mod
has apparently been done on the ARRL's test rig, so the figures that are
eventually reported in QST won't apply to those of us with unmodified rigs.

When you do get to order your K3, it will have all those mods incorporated,
so you'll have a better rig than those who have one now.
