To be brief...I owned my first K3/P3 together with a KW TS-590. I preferred the K3 for weak CW in my city QRN, but decided to leave Elecraft until their products matured. The 590 is nice, and while it has a few warts, works ok for me.
Four years later...I bought and tested for almost a month a TS-990 against my 590. I felt the 590 was as, if not more, capable than the 990's main receiver, and equal to the sub receiver on weak CW 20-160M in the presence of city QRN. I didn't test it in a crowded contest. The 990 has lots of features and interface bling. I sold the 990 at a loss to revisit the K3/P3. I find that the K3/P3 have matured, and fully filtered still does better dealing with weak CW than my 590. 73, Gary NL7Y -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Is-it-Competition-tp7582146p7582201.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
