[Elecraft] K3 for SWL?

[Clay Autery]

My phones are on my ears if I am sitting at my desk.  If I am not
actively pursuing DX or on a net, I am using the General Coverage
module.  I absolutely love having the ability to use my K3s for this
purpose.  And I can make it sound pretty much how I want it to sound.
I find it acceptable even with the onboard speaker, but I prefer my
phones and I will be adding a pair of outboard speakers (SP3).

Is it reasonable?  That is a subjective question.  I think the K3s will
accomplish what you want just fine, superbly in fact.  If you have the
funds to do so, then go for it.  Personally, I would go ahead and use a
loop antenna (80m) and add a mic to make it a full 10W station.

73,
