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

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your comments. 

Of course the design goal for the KX2 was to pack as many bands, modes, and features into the smallest possible size, not to break records on RX measurements. Nonetheless, I'd expect the KX2 to come in somewhere in the top 20 or so on Rob's list. We'll see.
