[Elecraft] Questions about new crystals

[Parker Buckley]

I have K2 #2636.  Now that I've ordered new crystals as part
of the upgrade package, please tell me once again why I'm
doing this?!  Are these better matched than what came with
the kit?  I've seen earlier comments along the lines of
these crystals correcting some low-gain situations, which I
don't really believe I have.  I did read reference to
improved second crystal filter flatness, so maybe that's my
answer.  Everything calibrates well with Spectrogram and my
audio gain is about 9 to 10 o'clock during normal use as is.

Also, I recall something about one crystal being totally
removed in one of the mods.....I've obviously lost the
bubble here.  I don't see reference to it in the Revision B
instruction booklet.

Back to the 10 meter contest......

Thanks,
