I have an old K2 and an even older Omni-V.9. Yes, I plan to have an ORION when
I win the Lotto and that stupid stupid stupid Star Wars HAARP project is
turned off so the ionosphere returns to normal. (I guess that means I will
never have an ORION, but no wonder the US has a budget deficit bigger than
mine)
I suggest that the only really important question is not the exact numbers,
but how Elecraft managed to achieve such receiver performance in a home
assembly gizmo at relatively low cost. For that you ought to hear Elecraft's
Eric Swartz' presentation on the Elecraft design philosophy. KISS - keep it
simple. And thats the way I like my radios, the fewer knobs and buttons the
better (and the less to go wrong ???) If only the Omni-V had a decent
product detector free from intermod ........
