Mario,
Indeed, receiver architecture is significant to a number of
performance parameters and there are trade-offs here too. As someone else
pointed out to me, single-conversion designs (as the K2 is) typically have
poor image rejection (although this was measured at 74 dB on 20M with that
rig).

I assume you mean for the frequency scale. :-) Unfortunately, the
software that generates the graphs would require a fair amount of
modification to implement this. Also, the finest frequency step used in
these measurements is actually 1 kHz and I wouldn't want to imply something
finer. Perhaps a "fix" of printing the close-in raw data in a table would
suffice - that I'll incorporate in future reports.
