I don't know if it is Rob Sherwood's rationale, but when you look at  
all the footnotes, you will see that the K3 required a narrower  
roofing filter to achieve the same close-in dynamic range as the  
FT-5000.

So, going by the numbers alone, the FT-5000 does have better close in  
dynamic range.  The Radcom (June 2010) and QST (December 2010) reviews  
show even larger differences.
