[Elecraft] Any Consideration of a Receive Only K3?

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

I agree with Bill's comments about Perseus, I bought one last year to use 
primarily as a backup spectrum analyser.  Not only is Perseus' performance 
as a receiver good in all modes, but it also does a fine job as a spectrum 
analyser and/or a panadapter, which would be useful to a SWL should she/he 
become licensed.

The software version I use provides coverage up to 40 MHz.

The usual disclaimers apply.
