[Elecraft] K3 Test from Bavaria

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

Interesting work Toby. I would be interested to know how the K3's receiver 
behaves in terms of overall 3rd Order dynamic range (or Input IP3 and Noise 
Figure plus composite LO phase noise) while the test tones are moved in 
steps up the higher skirt regions and into the passband of a 8.215 MHz IF 
filter's response, hopefully without activating the 'Hardware AGC'. I 
appreciate that not all filters are born equal and that signal generators 
produce phase noise. Will you be including such tests sometime in the 
future?

73,
