[Elecraft] Re: mod to allow K2 to handle huge in-band signals--please try

[Julian (G4ILO)]

Another ham lives a couple of hundred metres from me. I never knew he
existed, never mind experienced problems when he transmitted, when I used
the K2. I only found out about him when I had an FT-817, which was unusable
when he came on the same band. (Actually, at one ham rally, I noticed that
the 817 experienced problems on other bands too if someone transmitted from
as close as 20m away.)

I've reached the conclusion that this mod is unnecessary for me (and most
of us.)

I'm wondering the same thing and if this mod might be good/wise in my case
as well.

I have a couple operators that live very close (within a few miles of me)
that use their legal limit amps regularily and I'm always stumbling across
them at 'peg the needle' db over.

Comments?
