[Elecraft] K3: vs a Collins S-line RX

[stan levandowski]

Bill, I don't have a Collins but...the "poor man's Collins" aka the 
Drake 2B is every bit as sensitive as my K3 to my human ear.  When 
things heat up, though, the K3 pulls away at a rapid rate and wins hands 
down.   Couldn't afford a Collins back in the 60s and *still* can't 
afford one today!!!  73, Stan, WB2LQF
