[Elecraft] KX2 and Sherwood Eng. RX Performance Ranking?

[Scott Mcdonald]

The KX2 was pretty thoroughly reviewed by Peter Hart in the January 2017 edition of RadCom.

Without trying to reproduce the receiver data tables, some representative numbers are:

3.5 MHz close in IMD (500 Hz bandwidth, 2 kHz spacing with preamp off) yielded a 3rd order intercept of +15 dBm and 2 tone dynamic range of 91dB.

Same thing at 50 khz spacing was 28.5 dBm and 100 dB preamp off with numbers dropping to 9 dBm and 96 dB with preamp on.

Mine seems pretty much like my KX3.

Maybe Wayne or Eric can get permission to post the review on the site if they have had a chance to vet it by now. 
  
Apologies to anyone if I didn't get something exactly right or if the spellchecker got it, I'm literally at the park with my KX2 catching up on some reading in 50 mph wind gusts, but it's 52 and sunny!
