Very true and I can see and hear it in person in the radios.
A side note on the P3/SVGA I had used LP-PAN and SDR-IQ both with my 5000

You could use your iPhone with iSDR or similar app.
Take either I or Q output from KX3, and connect it to the iPhone microphone
jack.
Done it, it works. you only get 24KHz range, because the iPhone mic input is
mono.
Total cost under $10. (4pole jack, cable)

Pete,
I think you are assuming that the spot frequency is dead on, and I
would believe that is a bad assumption. The other fellow's receiver may
not be well calibrated.
If your K3 receives 15 MHz WWV at the right frequency, I would say your
K3 is calibrated correctly.

One answer to your first question is that the results of IMDDR3 tests at 2
kHz spacing, performed with a 500 Hz IF filter inline, do not themselves
tell you how a receiver will cope with two or more close spaced and strong
signals inside its 500 Hz passband. In the case of a superhet,
