This discussion prompts me to make the comparisons on my K3 (4340) and KX3 (475). I have an XG3 which I have installed in a diecast aluminum box (Hammond Box) so it is able to produce signals down to -155 dBm using external attenuators and double-shielded coax cables.

I calibrate the XG3 at 0-dBm with my mw power meter (HP432A) and it is within a dB accurate. Above 200-MHz harmonics are used so one cannot measure output without using a bw filter, since the fundamental freq and harmonics add to total power.

One should note measurements with preamp on/off and what bandwidth they are made. I believe all Elecraft specs are made at 500-KHz bw.

May be a few days until I get the results to post, but I love both these radios for their differences, as well.
