[Elecraft] K3 performance excels

[K4IA at aol.com]

I've been listening in the 160 contest to see  how the K3 does in some really 
horrific conditions.  Lots of very loud  stations with awful key clicks 
crowded in a small area would crush the front end  of most receivers.

I have the 500 hz roofing filter.  I can easily  get within 200 hz of a very 
loud and clicky signal and still copy a weak  station.  There is no pumping of 
the AGC to cover the little  guy.   A station 500 hz away simply disappears.

On SSB, I have  found I can cut the bandwidth down to 1.5 khz  or below and 
by moving the  passband 1.30 khz, I can copy the signal.  It is pinched but 
very easy to  understand.

The K3 is very impressive.
