[Elecraft] K3 10-meter sensitivity

[WILLIS COOKE]

Hi Tony,

I used my K3 this year and did not notice the problem Tony.  Last year, I used an FT-900 for an hour and gave up on it because the inter modulation products were so bad and used my Kenwood TS-850.  Signals were very weak this year with rapid fading.  It would be very possible for two stations near each other to be hearing different signal strengths.  Only a few signals were strong and those were only on Sunday afternoon for me.  I did notice some distortion on the very strong signals when slightly off frequency which I do not have on the TS-850.  My non-contest comparisons with weak signals between the TS-850 and the K3 are that signals that are Q3 on the TS-850 are Q4 on the K3.  Does not sound like much, but is the difference between QSO and no QSO.
