My recollection of the numbers is that it meets or exceeds the OMNI VI and
VI+ in several significant respects. Anyone have the numbers? Stuff like
blocking dynamic range ...?

I believe the filter issue is covered in the selectivity numbers. The K2
does not use cheap monolithics for sure, but discrete crystals in a design
that give very good skirts and variable bandwidth as I recall. Again,
anyone with a K2 can tell us more? I want to buy one, but it is down my
list of priorities at this point.
The only thing on the K2 I miss (when I tried one out for a day) is a
basic PBT or IF shift. The basic receiver performance was just wonderful
though.
