[Elecraft] A KX3 owner with a K3 or K3S question

[gt-i at gmx.net]

Terry,
I was in exactly the same situation you described. I decided to look for 
a used K3 with the SUB-RX included, as well as narrow filters (400Hz) 
and ATU. I was lucky enough to find one within my budget limits.
The main advantages among the many features of the K3 -at least to me- are:
- tuning on SUB-RX is more fun since you will have all the filters in 
the 2ndRX, while the KX3 has to switch off the roofing filter to allow 
the extra 15kHz to be received.
- RX diversity. I can now cancel out fading or noise with a simple 
horizontal indoor-loop. Amazing!
- AGC in one click.
- voice and AF recorder
- more possibilities with the noise reduction - it really digs out the 
weak signals
- the external Preamp ( I also bought a used one) greatly improves 
signals > 21MHz.
I'm not using the P3 but an external SDR receiver tuned to the IF 
frequency.

73 happy buying
