I do a fair but of tuning around with my Sony ICF-SW7600G which can step up
and down the HF bands in 1kHz or 5kHz steps.


The K3 has a big heavy knob and a keypad and RS-232 serial control via
PC. It can be tuned in 1 Hz increments. It has sync detection and
virtually infintely variable final IF width. You have room for 5 first
IF roofing filters from 200 KHz (for CW and digital modes) to I think
around 3500 to 4k wide band for music and entertainment.

I really like my K3.

Can it go to 6k wide? Better for AM voice and music...
