Frank,
I can't speak to the other radios, but you do need to fiddle the values of the AGC on the K3s to get the best out of the radios. I think the defaults are just to see if the radio works or is where it was left while undergoing QC at Elecraft.

BTW: I'm glad one of us is doing something worthwhile. ;-)

Hi Jim,


Very good ideas! I'll also use my FTdx5000s as QRM radios and
also try the K3s to see if the there is a measurable difference
in QRM


tks

Hi Frank,

A worthwhile experiment. Suggestions. Use dirtier QRM rigs. Low cost
(less than FTDX5000) Yaesu rigs have lots of RF IMD on SSB, even when
not badly adjusted. W4TV has documented the cause(s) of this within the
radios. Also, set both QRM rigs and intended signal rigs for relatively
high distortion audio. Also try intended signal rig with no low-cut EQ,
no HF boost.
