I don't think most people looking at the K2 are that concerned about state
of the art performance. The K2's main qualities are small size, low weight
and low power consumption which make it an ideal portable radio. It is
superior in many respects to the many small mobile/portable rigs like the
IC706 series, FT-897 etc. that many hams on a budget use as base stations,
which performance limitations in many respects worse than the K2. For many
years at the start of this decade people used to say what a great receiver
the K2 had. I don't think the phase noise limitations, whatever they are,
are such a big deal for most prospective users. For those it does matter to,
there is the K3.

What you listed there looks more like a spec of a K4 to me.
