[Elecraft] K2 mixer note

[D.W. Harms PA2DW]

Hi all,

I have just finished building K2 s/n 3892. I got the box with parts at the
beginning of the holidayperiod thinking I would be busy with it for the
whole holidays, but it was ready within a 4 days hi! But that is thanks to
the superb maunal surely!

The performance is as to be expected of this very well designed radio. I
have one wonder though. The TUF-1 (or the equivalent TOP-1 as in my case)
mixer is certainly a good one, but it is not a "high level type". Would the
use of a high level mixer not further increase the dynamic range? Anyone
wishes to react on this, can mail me personally or if you think it is of
interest to others then just post it to the reflector.

73 and best wishes for the new year 2004!
Dick/PA2DW
