With an Elecraft radio, you can do some surprising things. In a contest, I can operate close to high power stations that have a clean signal, yet sometimes they can't handle having even my 5w K2 close by their receive frequency. That's the beauty of a great receiver. The K3 appears to be even better. Good luck and 73 Bob N6WG
