Steve, Are you perhaps confusing 'hearing louder' with 'hearing better'? The K1 has an extra stage of audio amplification, so signals may appear louder - but listen for the extremely weak signals, you should find the K2 is better in digging out those weak ones - that is the K2's better MDS and Dynamic Range parameters working for you.
The K1 is good, but the K2 is even better in weak signal reception. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steve Watkins > Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 9:02 PM > To: [email protected] > Cc: Watti > Subject: [Elecraft] K1 Receives as good or better than K2 > > > I have read the 25 reasons commonly found for K2 poor reception, > and many other posts. > > My K2 receives, transmits, and I get good reports.
