That is not quite what I was expecting. KX3 being SDR based should sound 
better then K3 because KX3 should lack in band IMD caused by non linearity 
of crystal filter. When I compare audio of my K3 with that of QS1R the 
difference is pretty noticeable. Well, sooner or later someone will measure 
in band IMD of KX3 and hopefully we will get objective data.
