[Elecraft] K2 is still hot rig

I can understand that and I would agree.  I had a Ten Tec Argonaut V. 
 Compared to the K2, it sounded, for lack of a better description...thick and 
muddy.  I like the crystal filters much better than the DSP that was on the 
Argonaut V and the K2 is much quieter than a couple of other rigs that I have.

This past weekend, I was able to hear a Norway station that was barely out of 
the noise level on CW.  I doubt that I could have heard it on the Century 22 
or the Kenwood TS-530SP.
