I don't believe that the K3 is ranked number 1 only based on
footnotes. Consider the 100 KHz blocking numbers, the better
wide spaced dynamic range, much lower MDS (without a preamp),
or better phase noise performance (vs. the Flex-5000) and the
K3 is overall a much better, more well balanced performer.
Some of the measures may not be important to a purely CW operator
in the US but 20KHz DR could certainly be important to a phone
contester and the 100 KHz blocking numbers are probably important
to someone in Europe who must deal with the horrendous broadcast
interference issues on 40 meters.
