Incidentally, I just looked at the measured 500 Hz MDS figures for 6M 
operation across several recent QST product reviews.  6M operation MDS 
ranges from -128 dBm for the Flex 5000A to the -142 dBm/-143 dBm range for 
the Pro-III and high-end transceivers (roughly approaching specs of the K3 
with the optional 6M preamp).  Falling in the mid-range was the Ten Tec Omni 
VII at -139 dBm.   Keep in mind these are one-unit measurement samples.--  
not a population.
