As Jim pointed out, there are two factors to consider - your receiver and his transmitter. I operate SO2R with a pair of K3/P3/amp set ups. I live reasonably close to other contesters who are usually operating the same mode/same band as I am. Before, when I had a pair of FT-1000Ds, I could hear 'em when they were within 25 KHz of me. Now, I often don't know they are even on the air until I pass their operating frequences. So, the K3 is excellent. But, I "dirty" transmitter that is producing close in spurs will cause problems no matter what kind of RX you are using.
