On the topic of comparing radios...
I've found that one must be careful on how the comparison is done.
You'll get a far better reading if you can hold everything constant
except for the rig under test.
I'll feed a single antenna to both rigs through an antenna switch
(maybe) and then send the
And I might add Perception is 98% of reality G And that is true no
matter what the meters or instruments say.

I'm a new used K2 owner. I have been getting use to the rig the last week.
In another thread this was said:

I have used Spectogram to align the filters, and I'll be doing that again with a
bit more experience. That made a significant difference in the feel/sound of
the radio. Like you,
I did some comparisons between my 756 pro and the K2
on 40 meters tonight, only CW, SSB always hurts my ears
so I cant say about that, plus I don't have the ssb option
added to the K2.
I used headphones, the same antenna, and tuned in strong
and weak signals, some had very close qso's going on,
There you hit the word I was looking for, rumble. I have the narrow
250 Hz filter in a 706 and a 718. That sums up the difference between
them in the K2. With those filters there is more rumble, and sometimes
the signals blow right by the filters and blast you if you have the
volume up.
Yes, I think there is a lot going on in the modern stuff,
early stages being distorted, stuff getting through the filters,
and other sorts of distortion.
I have been into AM a long time, and fidelity there is important,
and all the modern rigs sound nasty on AM no matter what filters
they have,
