I have had my K3 for about a year now. There have been some teething 
pains and I have been vocal about it. However, that said - my K3 is, 
without a doubt, the best rig I have owned in well over 50 years of 
operating.

The ability to customize the rig to be your own makes it very desirable 
- so many settings to tinker with. The break-in keying is to die for. 
Hands down - the best I have ever used. The DSP seems to be able to 
handle most any challenge.

I added the P3 and really enjoy it - shows what is going on up and down 
the band. I have various filters, the SWL board, and the tuner. I spend 
most of my time on 75 and 40 rag chewing and netting - QRM is NEVER an 
issue with the K3.

I use HRD (old free version) for much of the rig control and am building 
a small desktop VFO control for easier "feet on the desk" tuning.

The K3 will probably be my last rig - nice to finish with the very best.
