[Elecraft] Re： K3 post SS observations

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

The audio DSP on the MP was a nice implementation for it's time.  The
one big drawback was that the front-end and VHF IF's crushed easily.
Going from the MP to the K3, at NY4A, a whole new layer of DX emerged
that was hidden in the crunch-crud.  The selectivity, with matched
INRAD filters at 8 MHz and 455 kHz IF, was and remains excellent. The
MP was a huge step up from my FT101ZD.

73, Guy.
