[Elecraft] [K3] Difference in sensitivity on 50 MHz between K3 and KRX3

[Lyle Johnson]

> Do other users of the KRX3 on 50 MHz notice the same difference in sensitivity between the KRX3 and K3 on 50 MHz when using the Main input?  Or is something wrong with my K3/KRX3 on 50 MHz?


I just ran a quick test on my development radio (S/N 00002, so not with 
all the latest changes -- or maybe with even later ones :-) and find the 
sensitivity of the Main and Sub to be equivalent on 50 MHz and 14 MHz 
(the two bands I tried) when sharing the main antenna, and a decreases 
in MDS of about 3 dB in the K3 receiver when the KRX3 is activated under 
these conditions.

Sounds like your unit *may* have an issue.  Please contact customer support.
