[Elecraft] K3 in the CQWW contest

[Hector Padron]

Don't know why they say K3 is noisy.I have owned MK5,2000,Orion and lately ProIII and so far the less noisier radio was the K3,sometimes it sounds so quite that I am afraid it might be broken or off.

Received an e-mail from an EU MM group who tried the K3 
for the first time this weekend along side the typical 
mix of FT-1000MP, MK V, 2000 radios (many with Inrad 
roofing filters and W8JI NB mods).  Operators were mixed 
when it came to receiving a single signal on a quiet band 
- those who preferred other radios felt the K3 was too 
"noisy."  However, when it came t dealing with QRM and a 
busy band, the K3 was the unanimous choice.  

I'm sure that once they get used to the K3 and learn to 
set-up the AGC characteristics (slope/threshold) for their 
own taste and conditions. the former "world class" radios 
will be a thing of the past.
