One of the more amazing aspects of that review was his claim that he did not know the size of the K-3 before he ordered it. It's size is certainly not kept a secret. Apparently, he does not bother to read the literature before he buys something. That's incredible.
As far as the performance aspects he mentions, I don't know what radio he was using (if in fact he was using a radio) but it certainly does not remotely resemble either of my K-3s. His comments about a perceived need to constantly re-center the roofing filters causes me to wonder whether he has any idea of what roofing filters are supposed to do or how they work. But mainly, I truly wonder if he is ever actually operated the K-3. While he was at it, I am rather surprised he did not give it a rating of 0/5 rather than the 3/5. His remarks are so foreign to what many other owners, the ARRL and Sherwood engineering, not forgetting W8JI have all noted with respect to the radio that one has to wonder about his motives in making the comments. Certainly, he is entitled to his opinion just as we are entitled to read it and forget it.
