[Elecraft] K3 for SWL?

[Harry Yingst]

Sadly the days of Good shortwave seem to have passed, I also used to enjoy listening to SW in my younger years.

That being said the with the optional General coverage board the K3 does make a good receiver but it lacks the highs in the audio.  There is a filter board that was added in the audio chain that rolls off the highs above 4kHz,  depending on your ears that may or may not be a factor for you
