[Elecraft] K3 vs. Icom IC-7600

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Yeah...at what spacing?

>From the ARRL pages, for the IC7800 (I don't think anyone is saying
teh 7600 is better than the 7800, but I could be wrong)

At 2kc, 3rd order dynamic range for 7800 =86 db; for the K3=103db

At 2kc, 3rd order intercept for 7800 = 21 dbm;  for the K3=28dbm

At 20kc spacing, things may change (I didn't bother to look), but who
cares...if the band is dead (few signals), these numbers won't matter
anyway.  If the band is hopping (crowded), 20kc spacking specs are
meaningless (to me)....it's the nearby signals that will get your
front end.
