Dear Bryan, As you say, you're not playing with the settings of the K3, you really must try ! K3 is a "Piston Cup" winner car compared to a standard limousine. You have the full choice to adapt all parameters to your own perception and frankly speaking as I have been owner or tester for most of the modern Ham and professional rigs, Elecraft waked up my Ham spirit after years of Ham radio routine with general purpose trcvr's. This is Ham product, by Hams and for Hams...what else ! They improved the rx side to the limit we can obtain today and I'm quite sure they will go further, following the improvement of technology. Hpe to c u sn as propag with ZL is increasing yet. Note: I'm refusing to play with rotating antennas, too easy, no fun, only wires are used on my side for years, same thing with cw, no interest at all to play with a computer where you've just to press Functions keys. Vibroplex for normal use and hand key for contest that's real Ham sport ! Best 73's Philippe A65BI

My perception is a LOT of people have posted genuine concerns about noisy K3 receiver. I will add my voice to those that find the K3 noisy receiver very disturbing. I am a casual user I rarely diddle with settings beyond the factory defaults. This is true for the several other late model rigs of different makes I own and operate. I find the K3 very noisy and fatiguing in comparison to any of the other rigs I have when tuning around a relatively quite band. I Rarely use the preamp mostly have the attenuator in.
