[Elecraft] KX3 BC Breakthrough

[Igor Sokolov]

Paul,
I have this direct AM detection on my KX3 every day mainly on 20-15-10 m 
bands/ I would not call it a problem because shifting IF 8 kHz solves it 
100%. Although this disables dual RX but one seldom (if ever) needs it on 
this portable  QRP transceiver.
Yet the radio is the best available choice for traveling and it has got very 
good receiver.

73, Igor UA9CDC
