Not sure if you checked his signal in the last couple contests?   If so 
you are criticizing a K3
for having monster Klix and SSB splatter.   He has ran a K3 now for some 
time.
He is 40 to 50 over nine here on 160 meters and I can get within less 
than 1/2KC
and copy the weakest DX signals,  so have to say K3 to K3 I dont have 
any problems
with him. 
I do have problems with a couple other KH6 stations on that same island, 
they have
klix and splatter that covers several KC of the band and they are only 
20 over 9.
Understand the radio is only as good as the operator setting it up, but 
that goes for
both ends of the QSO.
