Adam Farson VA7OJ has an article in the current March/April 2015 QEX discussing the use of Noise Power Ratio (NPR) to help define a receiver's performance in a crowded band in a way that might be more illuminating than the simpler two tone tests. Its an interesting discussion which makes some sense, but then I'm not anywhere close to an expert in that field.
In any event, he has figures from a number of transceivers, including a couple of K3s which no doubt do not have the new synthesizer. The K3s still performed very well relative the the rest of the field in these tests, though they were slightly behind the IC-7700, IC-7800, and TS-590S. Which of course makes me wonder how the K3 with new synthesizer would perform in this arena? >From a guy with a mild metrology addiction...
