[Elecraft] K2 vs. K1 - Info please.

[Mike Morrow]

>1.  How do the IF filters in the K2 compare to the audio filters in the K1. 

I can't address the K2, but the variable bandpass filtering in the K1 takes place in the IF crystal filter network.  The audio filtering is fixed.

>5.  Knob wobbliness.  The knobs on my K1 are just a bit wobbly. 

Early K1 kits were provided with AF and RIT pots whose plastic shaft did not have much support, so there was a lot of wobble.  You can solve that by installing replacements from Elecraft.  The parts now being supplied (since 2002??) have significantly greater shaft support and feel much much better.  I'd assume that if you bought an early used K2, it would be likely that the earlier style pots would be found on it as well.
