Interesting.

It costs 3 times what I paid for my K3.

The Yaesu price is ridiculous. I am looking at the new Kenwood down
conversion TS-590S. It has good close-in performance and excellent
sensitivity for $1750.
Also, I notice sensitivity values apply for full hf band and it even
has sensitivity specs stated for longwave (Universal web site).

You want a low IF if you're going to use meaningful filters.
Upconversion is only required for seamless general coverage.
