I have owned a K3 for just over 3 years and my impression is that, for “normal”
operation on the bands there is little difference between it and several other
transceivers. However, where the K3 shines is on CW, digging out readable copy
on stations which are right down in the crud. No Yaesu, ICOM or Kenwood radio
I have used comes close to what the K3 can do in that regard IMHO. Operated in
diversity mode (two antennas, one vertically and one horizontally polarized)
with the proper filter and bandwidth, it is truly amazing what the l’il guy can
pull out of the noise.
But of course all this is very subjective!
