[Elecraft] QEX article and K2

[Rob Locher W7GH]

Hi Jack,

My budget unfortunately doesn't have any room for one of your panadapters  
at the moment, but I'm curious anyway: how much bandwidth do your  
panadapters show when connected to a K2?  Does the bandwidth vary  
depending on which crystal filter is selected?
