With the playing field level - both rigs hooked up to the same antenna and speakers - I can do some fair and honest comparisons between the K3 and the JST-245. I must still fine-tune the system a bit - an adapter to split left and right channel audio from the K3 speaker output is first on the list, and I think I can do something with an antenna that is somewhat temporary yet still effective (and quiet) and will tide me over until I get to the new QTH later this spring.
