[Elecraft] K3 Broadcast Band Performance

[Mike Scott]

I tuned my new K3 to 640 KHz to listen to a local AM radio station. I was
connected to my 40M inverted Vee. The station had too low signal strength to
listen to. Just next to the K3 is an old tube radio with a 6-inch ferrite
antenna that tunes the station just fine.

 

I was expecting different results, what is wrong with my expectations? I
have the KBPF3 General Coverage Receiver filter module.
