[Elecraft] K2 versus K3 specs

[Fred Jensen]

Complex, multivariate problem Brian, sensitivity being only one 
variable, and some of the variables are very subjective.  I love my K2 
and use it QRP, usually in the summer, for field activities.  It is not 
a great multi-station FD rig and has nowhere near the capabilities of a 
K3 in such an environment where dynamic blocking range can make or break 
a radio.  I'll bet money that you are the only human being on the planet 
who can answer your broad question.
