This "review" is either a joke or the creation of someone who doesn't
understand the purpose of a HF transceiver.  It was clear, just partway
through, that this anonymous poster had zero credibility.

This statement is completely backwards.  One of the incredible achievements
of the K3 is that it is the most portable of serious HF transceivers AND it
outperforms other HP transceivers in all the ways that matter.  Yes, there
are some specific situations and specific users for which the K3 is not
perfect, but the radio hits the mark for the vast majority of diverse users.
