To clarify what K2AV said last night, the K3 does have "true RF speech 
compression", but as Guy explained, it stems from a radically different 
implementation compared to conventional rigs that don't use DSP. 
Interestingly, another aspect of the K3 software-radio design is that 
it's ALC is splatter-proof: mic gain running way off the end of the ALC 
meter range appears to be without consequences compared to what it would 
create with a more conventional regular radio (unintelligble and six khz 
wide signals).
