Jerry, since I am the "TO:" of your email, I suppose that your comment was
directed to me.
I have reviewed my recent messages and cannot find any instance where I
described the K2 as a direct-conversion receiver. I am well aware of its
architecture although I have not built one.
The most recent posting, about 30 minutes ago, included
"The K2 is living testimony to how "good" a relatively simple
single-conversion receiver can be. But clearly there are market forces at
play here that do not reward "quiet" receivers or *all* receivers would be
of the K2 architecture if that were the magic design. Nothing succeeds like
success, they say, but I doubt very much that the new Orion bears much in
common with the K2 design. A much closer comparison will be between the K2
and the 516 QRP rig if it every assembles itself from all the vapor."
My original posting in response to Tim's did not refer to the K2 at all.
Please direct me to my place of sin! <:}
