Absolutely. Right on. One of the things I loved about the K2, was the clean audio. It was one of the main factors that allowed me to sell my very nice Omni V and replace it with a K2. The K2 just sounded so much better. So not only is much of this subjective, but it all depends on what you're comparing it against. > ...2B sold for a bit under $300 way back 40+ years ago. >Adjust the 2B's cost for inflation, and it's well over >the cost of a fully loaded K2/100. And you've hit on one of the things that is SO ABSOLUTELY AMAZING about the K2. It gives such fabulous performance for such a low price. I'm looking at a $600 transceiver that does a better job as a receiver than a top-tier (for it's day) dedicated receiver. And as I've compared the K2 to other more modern rigs, the K2's prowess shines even greater. I loaned my K2 to a friend. He used it for a week. Came back and his first comment was "wow, I love that receiver". He didn't really know what Elecraft was. Now he's talking about building a K2 when the winter months come. - Keith KD1E - - K2 5411 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
