Cleaver is very correct. I like how the AGC is derived from an aux 2nd IF of 150KHZ. The AGC is smooth and almost pumpless. I found out the K2's DSP is audio, because they did not want to go to 32 bit processing. However the excellent front end anf IF of the K2 will tax a DSP less However as you pointed out all your $1500 and under have 1 audio DSP The original icom 746 used 16 bit and paid dearly for it
