[Elecraft] K3 for SWL?

[Bill]

I use my K3 for SWL and broadcast listening from time to time and have 
found the K3 to be perfectly capable of doing the job very well. Just 
use some of the menus and make settings (many to be made) until you are 
happy - and you will find just as good audio as any 10 tube old 
fashioned receiver. AGC and EQ menus come to mind.

I used to think the K3 would be out the door quickly, as I hated the 
stock audio. I am into 75 and 40 meter armchair listening/copy. After a 
while I discovered all the settings and started experimentation. A 
couple of hints and a very good link can be found here:

My K3 has grown roots on my desk. It is all about the settings you make.
