[EIDXA] K3 Intermod

[Nelson Moyer]

Glenn's indictment of the K3 receiver got me thinking about why HK0NA
experienced intermod and other K3 DX'peditions haven't reported that
problem. Could it be that that inadequate station grounding on the rock
could have been the culprit? I'm sure that the seawater ground at Ducie was
much more effective than anything they could have achieved at Malpelo,
considering that its solid rock. The only conductive material would have
been the guano and algae on the surface.

 

I know we all have our favorite radios, and I think Glenn likes ICOM, but to
issue a very public blanket indictment of the K3 based upon HK0NA experience
only seems a bit harsh to me. If ground issues were the problem, perhaps a
qualifier is in order before Glenn gives his talk at Dayton or wherever.
