Confused I am.

So....if SSB audio was not an issue on the K3, 
then why did Elecraft seek to improve it with the 
K3S initially touting it as one of the featured 
benefits of their next generation K3?

This SSB audio debate as been an acknowledged 
issue for many users for a long time...on this 
list and elsewhere. I notice that the December 
2015 revision of the K3S FAQ's now state that the 
revised DSP board for the existing K3 platform 
"may be available later in 2016" which is very 
different that was originally indicated in the 
FAQ's back last year.

After 7 1/2 years with my K3, using all 
combinations of filters, settings, RX EQ settings, 
speakers and headphones, last October I finally 
found the solution to my K3 RX SSB audio 
displeasure. It's called a TS-590SG. And it has 
one-touch-button band stacking registers to boot.

No regrets.

YMMV.
