If I want great sounding SSB I fire up the CE-100V with the factory 160M
option, NCL-2000 modified to include 160, and highly modified 75A4; along
with a D-104. Ive had all since the 60's.

This past winter season I borrowed a friend's K3 and used it and my Kenwood
TS-590S in a SO2R setup in a number of RTTY contests. I found that 99% of
the time the TS-590S heard what the K3 did. It was a pleasant surprise.
Neither rig suffered 2 kHz spacing IMD crud.
I also ran a SO2R RTTY
I have owned a K3 for just over 3 years and my impression is that, for “normal”
operation on the bands there is little difference between it and several other
transceivers. However, where the K3 shines is on CW, digging out readable copy
on stations which are right down in the crud. No Yaesu,
It's not that long ago when everyone would be raving about the Drake R-4C ,
so many pictures of top Topband Dxer's with one on the table, how times
change.

I had a pair of C Lines from about 77-86 when they were replaced by a pair
of TS-930's. Prior to that it was the highly modified 75A4 I still have and
often use as the second RX on 160.
In stock shape the R-4C audio was horrible and I used the Sherwood circuit.
I worked my 160 DXCC with it
I suppose that means that you prefer your customized phase-locked Drake
C-line?

I prefer analog detection of weak signals in noise, but I can live with
the K3 when it is adjusted to my liking.
Having just completed being host station for W1AW/5 and also a multi-op
for
the ARRL June VHF Contest where we had several guest operators at W5ZN who
ranged from highly skilled HF ops, some mid level ops and some Rookie ops

have been reading this thread with both interest and humor.

I've been looking forward the the Stew for some time. Hopefully, the QRN
