[Icom] NB on PRO

Sat, 16 Mar 2002 18:27:58 -0500

Sean.... Say, just wondering.. I have the Pro also. I have an Elecraft K2.
How does the K1 stack up against the Pro in terms of basic receiver
performance?
Does the K1 do anything clearly better? (other than the NB)
I have been toying with the idea of getting the K1
