[Elecraft] K2 vs. K3 Rcvr

[Bert Craig]

Hi Rick,

By better, I mean very quiet receive that's pleasing to the ear (Subjective, I know.) That can dig the weakest dige out from the noise floor. My unit is strictly a desktop rig, no portable operation. Tnx for the reply.

73, Bert

Bert - There probably are some people, but if so they have never operated a K3.  I have had a K2 as 
well as my K3 and in my opinion there are only 3 advantage of the K2, size, weight, and current drain.
And the first two are only advantages if you are considering portable operation.  As far as performance,
the K3 wins in every category I can think of.  But what do you mean by "better?"
