[Elecraft] K3 and KSYN3A in FD

I had almost the exact same experience.   A lot of times I have to remind myself that the K3 is so good, I need to give more room in the normal passband because I can't hear strong guys right next to me.

I have an Afedri SDR on my IF for my PAN, and I see that a lot.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 and KSYN3A in FD

Had the opportunity to operate two, different K3 transceivers, both with
the new KSYN3A boards, during FD.

A few CW observations:
1. The only way I became aware of a station moving close to me was when my
"rate" dropped. A glance at the P3, or opening up the receiver bandwidth,
always revealed that somebody loud had moved in really close. Since not
everyone has K3 . . . my rate fell in what was QRM for other receivers.

2. The bands seemed really "big". I was always able to quickly find a run
frequency when moving from another band or mode.

3. In spite of rainstorms for about 23 hours of FD, the bands seemed quiet
and lightning crackles were quite subdued.

I'm sure that these observations are routine for experienced K3 users.
For somebody who is still trying to decide, or is still feeding the piggy
bank, the K3 has one H3LL of a receiver--especially when equipped with the
KSYN3A board.
