[Elecraft] K3 - perceived RX and TX audio

[Bill]

If you don't like the audio from your K3 - you don't have to keep it!

With all the various AGC, DSP, and filter settings - and the two 
equalizers - _your_ K3 can be made to sound any way _you_ want it to sound.

It used to be that some radios just plain sounded good or just plain 
lousy - for whatever reason(s). The K3 can be anything from lousy to 
excellent - it is all up to the user to make the adjustments. Nothing is 
fixed in the K3 - there are nearly infinite variables to suit any 
situation. You can set it up for weak signal CW or resounding armchair 
copy - the choice is yours. The K3 can do it all.

Now, just why is it that I keep seeing mention of the K3's poor audio? 
Sounds to me like it is more the operator is unable to make the 
necessary menu selections. Or, more likely, the complainer never 
actually heard a K3.

Now, back to 75 meters and a little Kool-Aide.
