Knut,
In going over the FAQ on the Elecraft site, I found this had been added
to address your question:


General does not mean continuous in this case. There is a small gap at
8.215 MHz. You may be able to tune to this frequency, or not, depending
on the firmware. There is a trap circuit to suppress response at this
frequency, so the receiver won't work very well within several kHz of
8.215 MHz if it does allow you to tune there.

With a first IF of around 8 MHz, how can the receiver be general
coverage? Will there not at least be hole in the coverage around the
IF frequency?
