[Elecraft] How do KX1 and K1 receivers match up to K2, K3??

[Phil Hystad]

Thanks Wayne,

Even though I do not know the implication of a Gilbert-cell multiplier or low level signal sources, I have just now downloaded the QST reviews and will be reading these in bed tonight on my iPad.

So it's a bit of an apples/oranges comparison. But both were reviewed by QST magazine, so you can look up the ARRL's official test results. These are usually very close to Sherwood's.
