Hi All
I recently picked up a used K2 locally here that was out of 
alignment,had to wait for freq probe that I ordered from Elecraft which 
arrived very fast,after doing a alignment on the radio,and After I set 
it up,I was very happy to see it works very well.This is my first 
Elecraft radio and this one is a #01014 serial number one of the early 
ones I guess.Now the Sad Part......Today I was listening on 14060 as 
usual for qrp stations and heard a very very faint station calling CQ 
Qrp,if I were to tag a rst report on this one I would say 119 no s meter 
reading at all but I could copy it fine.For comparison I hooked my Brand 
New "2 months old" Yaesu Ft-950 and guess what??????? Could not hear 
anything there but Static........no signal at all.............$1400.00 
for this radio........Now I'm Happy but very sad.....
