Have to stick a note in here....

After a few years of trying, I won the CQWW CW USA All Band QRP class in 
2001. My rig was my original Field Tester K2 #78.  The performance of the K2 
in full tilt contest conditions is as good or better than any other rig I 
have ever used and I've used them all....both at home and at MM and MS 
stations. The superior close-in dynamic blocking characteristics and the 
ability to accurately adjust the filters and BFO(using Spectrogram)gives the 
K2 a leg up on the commercial rigs.

Hats off to Eric and Wayne ! The K2 is just now getting the widespread 
recognition it so richly deserves.
