No, I didn't miss this.
There is nothing like the K3 for multi-transmitter contests, DXpeditions
and field day. I hope 4X4DK has one -- I can see his beam from my roof!
But there are still areas of improvement for the K3.
If Rob comes to visit, I have a comfortable couch/bed he can sleep on.
My station is set up and my license renewed, but the bureaucracy is
grinding very slowly on the "non-ionizing radiation permit" that I need
to put up my antenna.

The K3 is still a great transceiver. For my purposes, there is nothing

the K3 could be markedly improved (cleaning up the audio artifacts in
QSK is my personal favorite).
Hi Vic,
You've been busy moving, and may have missed this.
k9yc.com/TXNoise.pdf
This report, which simply compares and analyzes ARRL measurements, shows
that in the realm of producing a clean signal, the K3 is an order of
magnitude better than its closest competitor, the TS590S, two orders of
magnitude better than Icom's "best," and FOUR orders of magnitude better
than Yaesu. For the non-math folks among us, an order of magnitude is
10X. So the K3 is more than 100 times cleaner than ICOM's most expensive
stuff, and more than 10,000X cleaner than even the most expensive of
current Yaesu rigs.
BTW -- I was hanging with K6RBtodaypreparing for CQP, and he's hoping to
look you up on an upcoming trip to 4X.
73, Jim K9YC
