Not that anyone would doubt it, but the K2 can also be a player in the 
big leagues too:  I had 1335q x 79 mults, although the K2 did have a 
Henry 2K helping it along.   I received a number of comments of 
"excellent sounding signal".  Using a Heil DX-4 headset mic.

And next year I should have a second K2 ready (and maybe even an 
Elecraft amplifier). 

Who needs $10K radios..........?
