[Elecraft] K2 is too good

[John R. Lonigro]

While I agree the K2 is a great radio, just remember the other station 
may have been putting out a whole lot more than 10 Watts.  Then it would 
make perfect sense for you to hear him, but not vice versa, even if his 
radio had as good a receiver.

73's,
