It certainly does not appear to have any problem other than 
being extremely "flat" to the point of muddy.  With heavy EQ 
and aggressively cutting the bottom end, the CM-500 is capable 
of excellent sounding audio.  However, I would not recommend 
it for use with a transceiver that lacks the level of control 
over transmit equalization provided by the K3.
