[Elecraft] K3: Reception below 500 kHz?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

It stops tuning at 500 kHz.

I see that the K3 receiver is spec'd down to 500 kHz.  What about below
that?  Is it completely dead (e.g. due to filtering), or is it alive but
with reduced sensitivity, selection, etc.?  

Will it even tune below 500 kHz? (I've seen some receivers that won't tune
at all below their lower frequency specification.)

Just curious...not a deal breaker.
