[Elecraft] K2 in SS CW...

[Darwin, Keith]

Nice post Chris.  Tnx for the comparison with a known contest rig.

What I find amazing is that we're even comparing the K2 to an FT1000.
That the $600 bone-stock K2 can truly run with the big boys (in this
case, one that has been tricked out somewhat) is absolutely astounding.

I used my K2/100 and an FT1000D with the INRAD roofing filter mod in
SO2R at WA7LT, low power.  

The close in *LOUD* signals is where there was a definite deficiency vs
the FT1000D.  A local, K7OX, was running HP, just a few miles away.  If
I was anywhere within about 10khz of him, I could still hear him on the
K2.  The FT1000D was dead quiet right up next to him.  IMO, this is the
only problem with the K2's RX!
