Since nobody has answered yet, I will give it a shot, although it is
entirely subjective and not even based on recent observations. I am
commenting only about receive audio, and only ssb. I have a KWM-2, and had
the same question on my mind years ago. Here is what I recall. When I got
the KWM-2 I
I have a rig that has many similarities to the Collins KWM-2. The
KW2000b made by KW Electronics in Great Britain is often compared to the
Collins as it shares many similarities in design.It too has a
mechanical filter and very similar audio amp. Is the best sounding

Anyone out there have a Collins receiver they'd care to compare to a K3?
I am only interested in the quality of the receive
audio. Of course there is no DSP, memories, and
Bill, I don't have a Collins but...the poor man's Collins aka the
Drake 2B is every bit as sensitive as my K3 to my human ear. When
things heat up, though, the K3 pulls away at a rapid rate and wins hands

I often wonder if Elecraft one day will offer a stand alone Receiver.
I don't know how many of you would be interested, but I would certainly get

I finally decided to buy the general coverage bandpass module for the K3.
Pretty cheap, when you consider the cost of a good receiver.
I recently rediscovered the thing that got me interested in ham radio - SWL.
Of course, if you're talking about a receiver for the ham bands only, I

Phil,
Buy a K3 with KBP3 option or a KX3, but don't put it into Transmit - you
will have a superb general coverage receiver.

not present - I would say probably not.
