Re: [Elecraft] K3 receiver desensing on CW during contest

, Mike K2MK wayne burdick Sun, 22 Feb 2009 18:26:03 -0800 Mike, The K3 is virtually desense-proof, with a BDR of ~140 dB. But to take advantage of this, you need a narrow crystal filter -- the closer to the DSP bandwidth the better. This is exactly the situation that we had in mind when we
