But is it the AF amp? I *think* (not sure) that I did a test with my K2. Listen to a dummy load and hear the hiss. Turn down the RF gain and the hiss goes away. I KNOW that was the case with my Omni V and I *think* that's the case with the K2 as well. If that's true, then the hiss is from the IF stages and changing the audio amp will do little.
