[Elecraft] K1 Receives as good or better than K2

[Don Wilhelm]

Steve,

Are you perhaps confusing 'hearing louder' with 'hearing better'?
The K1 has an extra stage of audio amplification, so signals may appear
louder - but listen for the extremely weak signals, you should find the K2
is better in digging out those weak ones - that is the K2's better MDS and
Dynamic Range parameters working for you.

The K1 is good, but the K2 is even better in weak signal reception.

73,
Don W3FPR
