[Elecraft] K3 "blur" was a no-show during ARRL 10m

[David Gilbert]

Nope.  It's not the same thing at all.  I've had lots of experience with 
the kind of echo you mention and heard it several times during the 10m 
contest this past weekend, but it doesn't sound at all like the in-band 
mixer products we've been discussing.  For one very obvious difference, 
we've all pointed out that the "blur" only occurs when there are 
multiple signals ... the echo happens even with a single signal.
