Another interesting detail, I think.  For the KX3, if I recall 
correctly, both the QST review and Sherwood's tests indicated that the 
audio image (opposite side of zero beat) wasn't all that far down, like 
60 dB, and limited close-in dynamic range.  I don't recall any such 
qualifications for the KX2, and indeed mine doesn't seem to have an 
audible image even on the strongest signals.  (Not a scientific test, I 
know, but I think I'd hear an image 60 dB down.) If this is so, what is 
the difference responsible?

Note that the optional "roofing" filter in the KX3 is really just an 
audio filter.  While it may improve dynamic range beyond a few kHz, it 
has no effect on the image.

73,
