[Elecraft] K3 6M receive performance

[Bob Serwy]

I use my K3 often on 6 meters.  I have no problem hearing stations on 6
meters.  I can hear the noise increase when I connect my 4 element 6 meter
beam to the radio.  So at my QTH, I do not need any additional receive gain.
Also the dynamic range is much better on 6 meters then it was on my IC 756
Pro III.  Local stations would desense the Pro III.  I can't tell they are
there with the K3.

Julian, others ...

The K3 is ... in my opinion ... quite adequate on 6M.  I would certainly
-not- say it's "deaf".  I have now logged a few hundred contacts on the band
using my K3 and it's performance is OK.

73!
