[Elecraft] Sherwood ranking

[Phil Hystad]

Wayne,

Thanks for the summary.  Actually, the column that makes the most sense and the one that should rank first in ordering is the name of the company providing the rig and Elecraft comes first in that ordering because of course it starts with the letter E which is the most frequently occurring letter in general English prose.

73, phil, K7PEH

Both the K3 and KX3 have much better blocking dynamic range than the '5000, yet are virtually equal to it in 2 kHz IMDDR3. Between the K3 and KX3, the K3 would be the better choice for serious contest work given its superhet architecture and narrow crystal filters. The K3 also has the highest-performance panadapter option of any radio.
