Some people may find it more convenient to use a second FM only transceiver
for local nattering while using their K3 for something else, but there is no
doubt that having a crystal FM filter in the first IF gives far superior
results to rigs that rely for selectivity on a mechanical filter at the
second or third IF. With all the work Elecraft has recently put in on FM
operation features the K3 really is now an excellent ALL MODE transceiver so
why not take advantage of it?
