I have a couple of questions on the K3.
1) I gather there is no agreed standard for digital voice modulation
(at the moment). AOR seems to be using an open standard that they
ascribe to G4GUO. My question is does the K3 have the capability to
internally encode/decode a protocol such as the G4GUO scheme (and
continue performing its other "normal" functions)? Or will it be
necessary to look to an external device such as AOR's in order to use
digital voice modulation? This question is a "future feature" query.
2) Amplitude modulation. I assume that the K3 does not have a 50 watt
class A amp modulating the 100 watt finals. I guess the K3 fully
modulates a low level stage that (with linear amplification and
mixing) drives the finals. My question is does this provide the same
"talk" power as the old class C AM transmitters? Or is the carrier to
audio envelope proportion different (compared to the "classic" AM
signal)?
