[Elecraft] K3 findings

[Simon Brown (HB9DRV)]

The quiet receiver is *very* pronounced when using data modes. I am so glad 
I sold my IC-7800 - this K3 is tons better.

Listening to the CW contest with 250Hz and 1kHz filters is a pure pleasure, 
I would bet money that I am listening to an analogue system.
