[Elecraft] K3: Sherwood Receiver Test Data question

[Joe Moffatt]

I can't compare against a K3, but I can against a Flex5000a and a Flex 6300, and this Rx is quieter and smoother at weak signals.    I am a computer junkie by trade and I really can't stand the SmartSDR interface for the 6000 series Flex's.  I have had a Flex for 2.5 years and I decided it was time for a well designed small knobbed radio.   I added an Afedri SDR as a panadapter and I have the best of both worlds.   No loss of computer features and gained the K3.

Barry -

It will be interesting to hear from someone who has done that... but I put
two new synth boards in the K3 of W9FAM, and he is THRILLED at being able
to run QRQ without having to be in the QRQ mode, thus being able to use
RIT, without degradation of the CW his K3 is putting out.

For him that is important every moment he is on the air... He realizes he
may never be aware of receive improvement, but knows the upgrade was well
worth it.

In my case, I seldom go over 30 wpm, so I did not need the upgrade the way
he did, but I am still glad I did it. I may never know how differently my
rig actually performs, but it "seems" quieter. I realize that could be
just because I want to justify the upgrade, but I am a very happy camper
regardless.
