Eddy,
I cannot answer about the comparison with the Argonaut, but I can say
that the setting of L34 is very broad. If you cannot discern a peak,
then set the slug 1 1/2 turns from the top of the can.
One can usually set L34 for the best signal to noise ratio when using
Spectrogram. Listen to the 7000 kHz birdie with the preamp on and no
antenna attached. Use an IF filter between 500 and 400 Hz. Tune L34 so
the Spectrogram display shows the 'signal' at a peak and then further
refine the setting so the out of passband noise is at a minimum while
still having the signal at the highest peak.

Just barely hear L34 peak with the slug near the top
of the can....is this normal?
I'm just trying to determine if the receiver on my K2
is working as it should. Signals on the K2 with the
Preamp switched in sound about the "same" as they do
on my Ten Tec Argonaut V from 160 thru 10. With the
preamp out, signals sound a little "softer" than the
Argonaut, but I can still hear them. Is this normal as
well?
Serial number: 3349
Thanks for the help!
