[Elecraft] K3 as successor

[Andrew Faber]

Dave,
  Yes, I was listening to a very weak J5C last night on 80 next to his 
pileup.  On the K3 I could factor in some noise reduction and pull him out. 
On my 756 PRO2, when I turned on the NR, I got various clicks and pops on 
his frequency due to the pileup and couldn't read him.
  I'm normally skeptical when anyone says they can hear a signal on one 
radio and not on another, but this was a case where it was true.   The K3 
passband is completely free from digital artifacts, even with the NR on.
  73, andy, ae6y
