[Elecraft] K3 RX in real world

[Bill]

Real World - that is all that really counts. All the testing and arguing 
that has been appearing of late is great, if you are a numbers cruncher 
and chart maker. But, to my thinking - the technical performance 
differences between the top rigs can only be discerned in a "copper" room.

Real world experience with QRM, QRN, good or poor antennas, band 
conditions are all the great equalizers. Reported real world experience 
- comparing one rig (A to B) - is of far greater value to me than a list 
of numbers.

Lots of explanations why one rig is preferred over another: handles 
QRM/QRN better, has more pleasing audio, better/worse ergonomics, more 
??? for the money, too many menus, great audio reports, great 
keyer/break-in, eye candy, etc.

Of course, all that said - it would be a very hard sell to get me away 
from my K3-Line. But, it would be interesting reading never-the-less.
