[Elecraft] Is the K3 have low sensitivity on 10 M and 6 M

[Bill Frantz]

If you are hearing static, then you have enough sensitivity. It 
sounds like the problem may be a very local source of noise 
which is drowning out the signals at your QTH, while your friend 
is far enough away from that source to not be bothered by it. 
Try using a portable radio to search for the static source.
