QRPNEW has posted on the K3 before and in both cases he (or she) had a long
list of complaints. I have a hard time giving any credence to people who
hide who they are and play games with reviews either to make themselves
"look good" or "educated" and just bash a product. No product is perfect and
Bill and others, hold on and think about these
figures. -35 to -38 dB IM3 !! We are dealing
with 2SC2782 transistors operating at around
12V DC. I say no more, the knowledge and intelligent
individual will understand.

Would you write a review like that if you were going to sell the
radio? I think I'd wait until after I sold it. Pure BS.

Can we expect the "many others" to be posting for sale notices for their
K3's on the reflector?
