There are many who would disagree with this.  Whatever happened to 
the "pink noise" response experiment or the LPF that was being 
tested a few months ago.  I will agree that Elecraft have pushed the 
RF boundary but to date audio hasn't been their thing and here I'm 
not talking audiophile rubbish just good sound.  Unfortunately that 
is the interface with the human operator.

I find myself drawn more and more back to the K2 and if I was closer 
to the action I might even consider parting with the K3.  However, 
gear that comes to out of the way locations tends to die there and 
one can always live in hope.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO
