I might see about the speaker amp upgrade with the DSP board changeout, depending on the cost, however I use headphones most of the time and headphone amp is not involved, just speaker amp. Speaker

Mine was purchased in 2009 K3/100-F $2,089.95. It does everything I want, but I do have my eyes on the sync board and the DSP since this one was never updated last time it was made available to

Jim, I did some paperwork checking then verified by trying to use it, came up not installed. I never purchased the internal tuner :). It's not there so I don't have to think about taking it out.

Ian, Thanks for the most helpful suggestion. I never noticed that the K3 had a Switch Tones function. Mine is now on. Of course, this still doesn't solve the basic problem, so carefully articulated by

Somewhere in the archives resides my sad tale of blowing out the front end of another radio because when I intended to change bands, I inadvertently activated VOX and then bumped the
