[Elecraft] K3 & ADAT ADT-200A by HB9CBU

> has anybody done a serious test of the ADT-200A transceiver yet?

When I asked this question, I sure did not expect the very educational 
discussion which has broken out. I'm very thankful, as a photographer 
who programs graphic systems for television, many good points were made 
which I might not have thought about on my own.

 From a purely amateurish SWL point of view, I have had the chance to 
play with a few very expensive high end LW/MW/SW receivers, designed for 
use by the government, military, etc. One thing which has struck me, was 
the often poor IMD2 behavior of these radios, unless if they were using 
good, fairly small-band input filters.

Also a real world test of a radio, would also have to deal with aspects 
such as the user interface as well. This is one of the reasons I did not 
"upgrade" from the Flex-1000 to the Flex-5000. I did however "upgrade" 
K2 to K3, and despite whatever inherent minor weakness it might have, 
I'm not sorry that I did.
