Hi Doug,

The KX3's RX performance numbers are exceptional, but only one unit  
has been through the full test suite. After we've tested several,  
we'll post more details. If the numbers hold, it should easily be in  
the top five on Sherwood's chart with the roofing filter module  
installed, and top ten without.

Since you asked: it's roughly 30-40 dB stronger than the FT817 in most  
RX categories. OTOH, the '817 has some nice features, and I have one  
myself that I use as a signal generator and monitor.

73,
