   Actually, the K3 has started a new ham-social problem of the have 
and have nots. I noticed with my K3 at the K8DAA field day site, 
that I could copy just about anything. 
But many were not hearing me due to AGC pumping/lockout of signals some 
5-10kHz away. It was very noticable. We had a K3 on 20 cw about 300 feet 
from a K3 on SSB, and we never knew the other guy was there (This deals 
with raw RF overload).

   But that receiver, well, maybe it's "too" good?  ;)
