Each time this subject comes up, I say the same thing, and it is true.

Old D-104s, crystal or cermanic, do not need any adaptation to the K3. I
have used my classic crystal D-104 as-is with the K3. On-the-air checks
with audio maestro K9YC confirm that it gives outstanding audio. As Don,
suggests just be careful with gain settings. Try it for yourself without
the FET amplifier.
