It will be interesting to see if Peter reviews the K3. The K2 has
never been reviewed by him, despite a number of offers of loan

Easy enough to solve. Just send your radio in for a retest.

No it doesn't. This is exactly the reason why the ARRL buys a rig and
doesn't accept product from manufacturers to test.

If anyone is in doubt, I suggest they wait another 5
No review will be representative of all K3s.
I think Dave's line above says it all. No one review will ever capture the
true performance of all transceivers. This is a significant hang-up area
with many operators. Often, we'll read a QST or RadCom product review and
make the quantum-leap

It's not rocket science to measure the performance of a receiver... All
you need are a few items of relatively common test gear, calibrated to
national standards if possible. The test procedure is given in some
detail on the ARRL web site.

Actually, Wayne and Eric care quite a bit, as evidenced by their
wanting the rig to be sent to them for checkout *AFTER* being told it
was going to Rob for review.
Also, recall that very nice Bavarian Contest Club review (

Sorry I brought this up. I never intended for this to be a flame thread or
argumentative thread. My point is:
ELECRAFT DID NOT SPECIAL TUNE MY RADIO! You finish the calibration and your
radio should perform exactly the same. Others independently have verified
Rob Sherwood's results.
and not the 5-pole customer filters in the radio.

I am feeling pretty good about the numbers Rob Sherwood, NC0B, has come up
with. That is my radio he is testing and so now I know exactly the
specifics of that particular radio, SN 00149. It was a kit radio that I
built, Elecraft checked it out, finished the calibration procedure, returned
it

going to be tested for you can make sure to tweak and tune for those specs
