Actually, the K3/10 is far less expensive than its nearest competitors as far as RX performance from what I can see. Even to get close, you have to spend 5 grand (i.e. for a Flex plus computer, some of the top end rigs from the big three, etc). In fact, the only RX I've seen that exceeds the K3 on anything (at least on paper) is the Icom 7800 - and at that it seems to only have a higher IP3 and falls behind elsewhere. And that rig will blow a possibly fatal sized hole in your savings/retirement account, etc.
Er, so I'm a little mystified by the thought that the K3 is expensive or just has too much stuff in the box and needs to be pared down? Seems like the highest bang/buck ratio, far far and away, available in amateur radio already from what I see.
