I would be curious what the signal to noise ratio and readability is of the signals, forget what the meter tells you. Does the meter show that a signal goes to 7 S-units?
Take the meter out of the equation and listen to the signals. Try to find a signal that is barely readable on one rig or the other and see how they compare. I have not done the above experiment with my KX3 yet but I had a buddy's KX1 here a while back and I did that very experiment. Not only did I find that I could hear better on the KX1, I found that signals that the KX1 could hear my TS-2000 was no where close to hearing. My thinking is that the noise floor was that much lower on the KX1 and it had better selectivity than my TS-2000 does (quad-conversion vs. essentially direct conversion). Again, take the meter out of the equation and go off the readability of the signals.
