I plan to do some sort of audio review of this when I get it. See below from Wayne:

Enhancements: Tap DISP to hear the operating mode followed by the kHz digits of the VFO A frequency (e.g., if you’re on 7040.0 CW, you’ll hear “C 040”). Changing bands or recalling a frequency memory sends the MHz digits as well (e.g. “C 7040”). Most of the rotary controls now report their settings (DLY, CMP, KEYER, MIC, PWR, and MON). Many additional improvements are planned, as well as a guide to touch-only use of the KX3.
