Also, some filters are reputed to have been defective. Of course, the

I must have been asleep. Can someone point me to the reports of mediocre front end performance, please? I hadn't noticed any criticisms, apart from this one.

In the reviews of "professional" grade receivers I've seen, such as the Icom professional receiver, the performance was actually worse than many amateur transceivers, and certainly worse than the K3.

I suppose Elecraft must be doing something right if people have to make things up to find something to complain about...
