Well, that was a confirmation of the K2 RX! Heard Kevin at the noise but readable on the K2. Unfortunately, I screwed something up while making the 40m parasitic mod to the KPA100, and I can't transmit on the K2 right now. Called on the TS-850, and found I couldn't hear him at all. I consider this an A-B comparison, and my K2 wins. Fred K6DGW Auburn CA CM98lw
