[Elecraft] K3 vs. Rohde and Schwartz

[Bill Tippett]

N6AX:

 >Interesting to note that in QST magazine's review of a super whizbang,
thermonuclear commercial transceiver from Rohde and Schwartz in the
October issue of QST, the receiver they referenced its intermod
performance to is.......the K3.

         Check out the reciprocal mixing noise (phase noise):

Model           20/5/2 kHz offset       Price

R&S XK2100L  -   -99/-75/-63 dBc         $20k (wild guess)
Icom 7700    -   -109/-91/-78            $6000
Elecraft K3  -   -116/-106/-95           $2500

Moral: you don't always get what you pay for.
