[Elecraft] Is the K3 for non-contesters?

[Richard HIll]

So, I think I hear a warning...It may soon be that we'll have wall to wall
K3's up and down the band during contests, and we'll need a K3 just to
squeeze in and be able ignore the neighbors <grin>.

With an Elecraft radio, you can do some surprising things.
In a contest, I can operate close to high power stations that
have a clean signal, yet sometimes they can't handle having
even my 5w K2 close by their receive frequency.  That's
the beauty of a great receiver.  The K3 appears to be even
better.
Good luck and 73
