Yes you gained a lot in receiver performance/filtering/NR over the 9000, I had not much over the 5000 but the filtering and the sub-receiver is what made me switch.

My K3 (loaded) replaced a FTDX-5000MP and with the P3/SVGA both about the same price $6000 range.

I don't know of any, but, I could be wrong. All of the current crop of transceivers work, it's just that the K3 does it better...:-) JMHO...and I AM biased of course! 73 Gary On 2 March 2013 22:11, Fred Smith <[email protected]> wrote: Quality is remembered long after the price has been forgotten, junk reminds you quickly of what you have done. The base price of a K3/100 is quite cheap for what you get and holds the value "Very Well" for a long time if you will check. The base model will hold its own against most all radios the way you receive it but you can have the very best made if you desire I have one of each.
