Exactly right.  And my work has keyed on TX bandwidth. For all practical 
purposes, Rob has not looked at TX. Yes, there are MANY other features 
and specs that define a rig. Elecraft has chosen the design compromises 
and ergonomics that work best for me. YMMV. :)

Hmmm. I'm retired from a career in pro audio, and I'm quite pleased with 
K3 audio. It's a communications radio, not a broadcast TX or RX.  I own 
several very nice receivers for music and entertainment, and they cost 
me a LOT less than a K3  -- I don't need my K3 to do that.
