I don't see how you concluded that.  Gene W3ZZ (who owns a K3) is saying the
two rigs have very comparable RF performance.  I might quibble that he
omitted BDR in his table but perhaps that's more of an HF issue than VHF
(Gene's focus in the VHF column).  For both Phase Noise and BDR, the K3
exceeds the 5000 by ~15 dB (not insignificant if you're in a
multi-transmitter environment or have a strong local neighbor).

73,  Bill
