[Elecraft] Why is KX3 phase noise so much less than the K3 ?

[Dave]

There was some discussion about the effects when on receive as well, I seem 
to think another manufacturer, not Electraft and not one of the 'big 3' was 
shown to be quite poor with it's radiated signals even on receive.  Or, did 
I read the lab reports incorrectly?
