I am a contester. I love contesting. I love CW contesting. Well, I put
the K2/100 on the 10 meter CW contest yesterday to dink around with the
contest. I must have worked 50 countries. I almost got 500 QSOs just
dinking with the contest. The rig worked perfect. I did a lot of running
on one freq....and the heat sink did get hot. The fan was running so I
took and old pan-motor fan and just placed it to the side of the K2 and it
handle everything fine. Heat was not a problem and I do not think the heat
was a problem to begin with. I am sure Elecraft tested this heat sink to
extreme temps.
Hunting and Pouncing is great!. The filters are very good with nice
skirts....and there was very few times that it did not handle strong
signals. I was truely impressed with the selectivity of the rig.
Now, I have operated rigs from 756PROII ... 950SDX...IC765...and a host of
others. I pick the K2 at this point. Amazing little receiver. I am
taking the rig along the next time I go to a multi=multi and see what other
guys have to say too. I think they will be impressed.....
Great Radio. Great Service too. Great Company. I am sure we will see
more stuff coming out of Elecraft which will be fantastic.
