[Elecraft] K3 2nd RX Specification

Yep. The second RX might even be better than the primary RX... ;-)

Seriously, identical in this case was always a relative term. You can 
not seriously expect to receivers to have absolutely identical specs. 
Parts have tolerances, and these alone will always mean there is some 
variation from unit to unit, from board to board. I do not see this as 
downgrading the specs.

Apart from this, it has always been obvious that, because parts of the 
second RX are not used for TX (e.g. roofing filters), the receivers 
could not have absolutely identical circuits.


The website still says:

 >> In a first for the industry, the K3’s identical main
 >> receiver and subreceiver ...


My read is: Elecraft has not downgraded the specs and are doing their 
best to insure that both receivers will run at full specs when both are 
in the same box.
