[Elecraft] Amazing K1 & K2 receiver feat

[Sylvan Archer]

Yep, they are amazing. Last week I was trying to work
one of the 80M foxes on Tuesday night with my K2.
First clue something was wrong was that the swr into
my antenna was abnormally high. Nevermind, I could
hear the Fox just fine so I try to work him. Normally
I would work this particular Fox very easily and for
15 minutes I could hear him but he never responded to
me. Light bulb goes on and I look at the panel. Sure
enough I am trying to work him with ANT2 and I have my
antenna hooked up to ANT1. Switch to ANT1 and work him
promptly. Swr was better on ANT 1 too. :)

Fine rigs these Elecraft's are.
