Hey Ralph & Robby, After all the contest activity on 160 yesterday, after I shut down I had trouble getting to sleep because I was hearing all those phantom CW calls for several hours before it subsided.
Seriously I was able to hear stations right on the noise that I would never have been able to pull out with the IC-7000 I used to have. Robby, I distinctly remember working you last night and you had a nice clean signal (ref your other post on audio distortion). It must have been just on receive. I didn't notice that problem here and there were many-many S9+20 and bigger signals showing on the P3 and I had the span set to 6KHz (3-C+3). Another plus for the K3/P3, was able to find those weak stations in between the +20 guys and work them thanks to the super selectivity of the K3. 400 Hz 8 pole filter is sufficient to keep out the adjacent frequency strong signals even from an Alpha 9500 running 1K+ less than 5 blocks from me. Never even knew he was in the contest until I rolled across him. Centered up, he bloomed the P3's trace up pretty wide, but I could still copy S3 to S5 signals within 1KHz either side of him without any IMD problems. Couldn't see the weaker signals on the P3 due to his overload, but had no trouble working them.
