I don't use my K2 for EME but it is my main rig for microwave weak signal work, largely on CW. I tend to use the SSB filter for CW and rely on my ears for filtering, and have not found filter ripple to be a significant problem.
On the plus side it is nice to have direct read out of frequencies on the microwave bands (though truncated), and the ability to offset the display to take out the microwave LO offsets is very nice. The ability to set different power levels for each transverter band is also very handy. On the negative side, my noise blanker won't touch radar QRM, whereas my IC756 is very good at removing it, so I stick with the 756 on 23cm where radar is prevalent in Europe. The other problem is the level of birdies on receive in the European beacon band in particular (28.8 - 29.0 after transverting). This makes beacon searching a rather tedious process as it takes a while to hear the keying to decide if the signals are real or not. 73 John G3XDY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
