Hi Jim,
Like you I find the K3 lacking on both FM and AM. The audio sounds thin.
The AM is lacking, in that with full mic gain and full compression I 
only get about 85 percent modulation.

I would like to be able to control the audio as I can on SSB, which is 
excellent. Any chance of having another look at these modes in the near 
future, Wayne, Eric and Lyle?

I've reverted back to the IC706 mk 2 for AM and FM and use the K3 on 
receive at the moment.
