Re: Why is KX3 phase noise so much less than the K3 ?

Our field day has been all Elecraft for the last couple of years
with mostly K3s and a scattering of K2s. Last year we ran 9A QRP
battery + GOTA (+ satellite). We had antennas which allowed us
to run CW, SSB and Digital on the same band and had no
significant mutual interference. (We work hard to keep our
antennas in each others nulls, and being a west coast station,
always point them east.)

The bigest interference problem was phase noise from another
club's operation about 1/2 mile away. They were running 100
watts with I-K-Y gear.
