K3 and Plasma TV QRM

[KH6DC]

I've heard many great things about the K3's ability to minimize QRM from plasma TV.  I 'm surrounded by plasma TVs in the neighborhood including ours.  I have an Icom 756 Pro II which does an ok job but still there's many stations I can't hear that can hear me.  Please tell me about your experiences as it will help me with my decision to buy a K3 with the 3 SSB roofing filters.

Mahalo and 73,

I have a plasma in my home and the K3 doesn't seem to do much to reduce the qrn. But that said, I haven't found that someone could hear me that I couldn't hear.

Delwyn,

We have a fairly old Sony 42" plasma TV and my brand-new K3 is sitting on a folding card table, no more than two feet from that TV. I have an outdoor, semi-inverted Vee antenna with it's apex at about 25 feet, located less than 75 feet from the rig. I have absolutely zero QRN from that plasma TV. And, if there are other plasma sets in the neighborhood, they apparently are not causing QRN for me. Now, if you are really talking about "QRM", yes - I have to tell the XYL to turn down the volume on her programs when I'm trying to use the radio!!! :-)
