[Elecraft] K1 Receives as good or better than K2

[Steve Watkins]

I have read the 25 reasons commonly found for K2 poor reception, and many other posts.

My K2 receives, transmits, and I get good reports.  All of the resistance and voltage checks were right on the mark.  The alignment was done by the manual, but as I recall there were some times that I did not hear real sharp changes when aligning.  It just seems that the K1 is receiving a bit better than the K2.

Shouldn't the K2 receive better than the K1?

Would realigning with a better source (N-gen vs. by ear) possibly be the cure?

Thank you ahead of time for any suggestions that may help me solve what I think? is a problem.  Heck, maybe the K1 is just that good and "out hears" the K2?
