Max,
This is unusually low MDS on 10 m for the K3. It should be more like
-136. Either your K3 isn't properly aligned, or you're injecting a
smaller signal than you think, or there's a problem. Please email
k3support so Gary can help you with it.

Hi Tony following you post
GE Tony.
1. The K3's sensitivity in manufacturer's specifications for BW=500Hz is
equal to -136dBm.
If we will recalculate sensitivity for SSB BW=2800Hz we will see only
-128dbm.
2. If we will see measurements from ARRL Lab for K3 and ProIII (for
example), we will see that ProIII has better
I have the same experience. *Without* the preamp the K3 sensitivity is
excellent but turning the preamp on, the improvement in sensitivity is
disappointing, in my case as little as 3dB (for 11dB more gain). My K3 has
also been back to the factory (primarily for mods), and came back with the

Hi Tony,
I used my K3 this year and did not notice the problem Tony. Last year, I used
an FT-900 for an hour and gave up on it because the inter modulation products
were so bad and used my Kenwood TS-850. Signals were very weak this year with
rapid fading. It would be very possible for two s
Yesterday, in the 10-meter contest, I noticed that some other stations (using
comparable antennas) within a very few miles of me were working stations
that I could barely detect, or not even hear, on my K3. In itself that is
not too unusual, but I had another radio in the shack, a Yaesu FT-900, so
6 matches
