[Elecraft] How much rejection should I expect?

[k6rb at baymoon.com]

As Jim pointed out, there are two factors to consider - your receiver and
his transmitter. I operate SO2R with a pair of K3/P3/amp set ups. I live
reasonably close to other contesters who are usually operating the same
mode/same band as I am. Before, when I had a pair of FT-1000Ds, I could
hear 'em when they were within 25 KHz of me. Now, I often don't know they
are even on the air until I pass their operating frequences. So, the K3 is
excellent. But, I "dirty" transmitter that is producing close in spurs
will cause problems no matter what kind of RX you are using.
