Another thing elecraft is doing with the K3 is to put in ham band only bandpass filters, with general coverage filters optional, but when operating in the ham bands, the ham band filter is switched in. The single conversion is likely the major reason the K3 (and the K2) are so good. My homebrew

Don, You bring up some valid considerations. When I first got into ham radio back in the mid-50s, the big selling points for any receiver were sensitivity and selectivity. Not much mention of IMD, dynamic range, signal to noise ratio, etc. The evolution of ham receivers regarding the number

After seeing the QST ads for the OMNI VI+ for so many years, where they showed the noise floor rise to cover up small signals inside your passband by larger signals outside of the passband - and knowing that the OMNI VI+ is a ham bands only rig, it seemed to indicate that any of the radios that off
