Other than diversity receive, what additional benefits do I get with
the 'D' version (for $1000)?
Diversity RX is a biggie if you can rig decent antennas to use with it.
I also use it in 160 contests when I want to listen in more than one
direction, or when I want to listen with a wide antenna and a Beverage
to get weak callers off-axis of the RX antenna
2. Why is the K4D down so low on the Sherwood receiver list and does it
really make a difference in a somewhat noise, semi-urban environment?
Remember that the Sherwood list is for a single parameter. I live in an
environment that can be very quiet or very noisy, depending on time of
day, what my neighbors are doing, where my RX is pointed. There are two
solar systems at my 8 acre property line, a third across the road. I
have Beverages pointed at all three. I'm a serious contester, and also
serious on 6M. I'm quite satisfied with my K4D. In comparison to my
upgraded 2008 K3, I like the filters a lot better, like the integration
with computer, like the control layout, and like the sound of the radio
that 15-year newer devices allow.
