[Elecraft] A question about low sensitivity

Compared against other rigs here, my K2 (24xx) seems deaf & more
so on some bands.

Much less so now after aligning the BPFs with spec-an & tracking
gen - but still noticeable.

This was before narrowing BPFs so as to avoid AGC responding to
out-of-band energy & may still be due in part to AGC even after
trying LA3ZA mod (a noticeable improvement, but seems to need
_much_ more help than that, at least in this part of R3 with decent
antennas).

It became very obvious tuning across the band after adding LA3ZA
mod that sensitivity varies depending on energy level at the AGC
image frequency.

But this apparently is not an issue in either R1 or R2.

73 & HNY/HLNY, VR2BrettGraham
