As mentioned in my earlier posting today, I'm on the verge of taking the
next step up the Elecraft ladder by purchasing a K2 kit. I have a question,
however, that I know many of you are in a position to answer.
I'm extremely impressed with the receiving characteristics of the K1,
loving the way it zeros in on and amplifies a cw signal. The audio shaping fits
my hearing abilities beautifully. I'm wondering if the K2 offers similar
characteristics, or if it has been somewhat compromised for cw in order to also
handle the needs of SSB signal processing. That may seem like an off-the-wall
question, but I've read a couple of minor references over the past couple of
months on the forum that make me wonder.
I still would proceed with the K2, but I don't want to be disappointed if
the receiver doesn't meet the same level for cw operating that I've come to
enjoy in the K1. I'll probably add the 100-watt amp and SSB board, effectively
eliminating the commercially-built gear now residing in the shack, and believe
I'd be gaining both design superiority and operating satisfaction with the
broad uses available in the K2.
So, gentlemen, what do you think about any differences between the K1 and
K2 receivers?
