I'm in upload mode, from the 160 test, where there are over 250 Qs in the log,
with over 50 mults, for 9 hours of play,
and not nary a one of those Qs had me signing /QRP, even when the PJ2 that
called me. There may have been one or two ops that
gave me their /qrp.. but I pretty much ignored it. However, after many hours of
using the K2, I must admit it still amazes me, in its ability to allow me to
hear the weak signals, some were qrp, some weren't, but when the S meter, agc,
or any other indication that there may be a signal to be heard is telling you
"nothing there" but your ears hear it, and copy it, and a Q goes into the log..
That is a very good receiver.
I'm also impressed with the number of K3s being used during the contest. And
you say, how's that? Easy, as a ruff estimate, not very many other rx will
settle in as close as a K3, and run.. as close to other strong stations.. then
still hear the weak ones.. K3 or K2? Who cares..?? as long as they hear well,
and don't sign /QRP.
