[Elecraft] Wait For The K4 Direct RF Sampled SDR?

[Fred Smith]

Yes this is sad being that the 3000 was supposed to have the same receiver
as the 5000 and it did not in fact nowhere near it.

I'm of that yahoo group as well as the 5000 and finally after seeing the QST
numbers they told the story of what I had been hearing. But they all were
saying was how great they were, then I showed them a comparison between base
model K3/100 no options and the 3000 at $500 more and less radio. All they
can say in reply usually is they wanted a big radio without a lot of menu's
well I hate to tell them but the 3000 has a bunch also.

Just to clarify for those who aren't used to hearing these numbers,
-140 dBc phase noise is significantly better than -120 dBc. It could mean
the difference between having two transceivers coexist or not when in close
proximity -- hence Rick's example of Field Day.
