[Hector Padron]

After I saw all those four videos on youtube,FTDX-5000 did not impressed me at all,in fact either on CW or SSB the K3 receivers sounds less noisier and cleaner audio.
Another $ 5k wasted in a japanese rig.

Found these videos on Youtube from YO3GJC, not really scientific but a comparison between the K3 and the FTDX-5000 using the same speakers:

More videos from the same OM:

A search on FTDX-5000 will return a few more videos.
