What's "different" about the K3 is its outstanding usability.  With a single
front panel control, HI CUT, any SSB bandwidth can be quickly dialed in,
maintaining optimum intelligibility.  With the few prior generation radios I
tried narrow SSB filtering on, there were obscure menu settings and/or IF
controls that were much more complicated to set for the same result.  Some
users never figured out the appropriate settings and thus concluded it
didn't work.

Ten-Tec's Orion had exactly the same setup (HI/LO CUT and SHIFT/WIDTH) over 4 years before the K3 was introduced, but I don't think Ten-Tec was the first with this idea.  In fact my ~30 year old TS-930S had something very similar (HI/LO CUT and VBT for CW...but no SHIFT).  Nothing wrong with duplicating a good idea it's definitely not unique to the K3.
