I totally agree that the K2's IMDDR3 and BDR figures are better than any
receiver now in the field.  However, my criticism about the K2's xtal
filter has absolutely nothing to do with that!!!

I'm talking about what is referred to as "bleedthrough" or "blowby".  If
you don't know what that is, let me know in a private e-mail and I'll
explain it.

ARRL does not test for xtal filter bleedthrough, BTW.
