That looks like quite a rig -- but is a bit pricy for my ham radio 
budget.  I can "limp along" with the equipment I have.

The move to IF DSP in the newer high end rigs makes me wonder if 
Elecraft will go that way some day.  DSP processors are not exactly QRP 
in power consumption, but neither is the K2/100.
