There are, indeed, a myriad of differences, and the K3 is a vastly 
superior radio. A very wise engineer whose day gig was communications 
for space launches at JPL was also deeply involved in pro audio. He was 
also a great technical writer. One piece of his wisdom was that 
describing a piece of audio using only its frequency response was like 
trying to write poetry with only one word in your vocabulary.
