Thank you Fred K6DGW - you are correct - I was referring to phase noise
on RX.
So far as noise from XMIT on other rigs, I have no experience. I live in
a rural area and have an extremely low ambient noise level. A noisy RX
exposes itself immediately.
As I recall, the quietest rig I ever had back in the day was a TenTec
Corsair II. However, that was over twenty five years ago and it was analog.
Of my recent type equipment, the K3 is the quietest - most likely as
quiet as the Corsair was. Just understand, my viewpoint is from the
armchair copy side. I do not DX or contest. The K-Line is probably
overkill for what I use it for, however, it sure is awfully good at the
job (just know your rig and make the appropriate menu adjustments).
My original comment/query merely was aimed at the difference in real
world use and inside a copper lined lab.
