Yeah, I wonder sometimes.  I was listening to 75 meters last night on
my Drake 2A and the XYL asked why it sounded so clear (compared to
what she had been hearing on the K3).  I put the K3 back on, and maybe
it did sound a little rough, on the same Motorola speaker even.  I
tried to set the bandwidth so it sounded the same as on the Drake.
It's hard to say for sure.  The K3 should sound better than a
756ProIII and the other DSP radios, didn't someone say?
