[Elecraft] Sherwood ranking

Very true and I can see and hear it in person in the radios.

A side note on the P3/SVGA I had used LP-PAN and SDR-IQ both with my 5000
and they work OK LP-Pan I got rid of early on to hard to keep running all
the time. SDR-IQ much better and some nice features but......the P3 is my
favorite of them all for sure you plug it in and it works from the very
first time out of the gate a fine product. I didn't care for it before the
SVGA adapter came out but just the P3 is fine for outdoor use alone. All I
can say is keep up the good work and may it be very rewarding for you your
company and employees "GOOD JOB"

Thx & 73,
Fred/N0AZZ

The short answer: In most operating situations they would all perform
equally well.

The long answer: They're vastly different radios. The '5000 is definitely a
nice rig, if a bit on the Statuesque end of the spectrum at 50+ pounds. 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.

The KX3 would be the better choice for hand-held operation, and it will run
much longer from a 9-volt lithium ultralife battery.
