When I receive on 160 with my TS850 with my inverted vee, there
is a 50KW AM station about 3 miles away that trashes the
receiver. I hear nothing bothering the K3.
How much power does that carrier put across the input of the
receiver?
Instead of just one loud carrier, the situation here is like a
half dozen or more loud carriers just OOB.
I suspect there is a bit of a difference in the aggregate power
we have to deal with here.

There is simply no comparison. The AGC is probably one of the best
kept secrets in the K3.
No phantom S-meter responses, nor noise floor changing as you
tune across the band? That would be nice.
Forgot - one more thing - can you hear RS-232 activity in the
receiver like the K2? In situations like ARRL 28 Mc test, have
wished for "no poll on RX" option in logging program. ;^)
