[Elecraft] Getting close....

Whoohoo!

The income tax refund was way more than I thought it would be.  That means 
that the K2 is within my grasp (well, still need to get the XYL's 
blessing.. initial reports look favorable)

Since having a little more money, I am thinking of adding a couple of more 
modules.  I already planned on the SSB, 160M modules.  I was thinking to 
either get the KIO2 and Audio filter or the Antenna tuner.

I have an MFJ Antenna tuner, but it is manual.  My antenna is resonant on 
most bands (including 160), so that helps me decide towards the 
KIO2/Filter combo.  I am working on a new Java based Logging Engine and I 
want to include K2 support (and whatever radios that the K2 protocol will 
support).  So that is a plus in that direction... 

I read the reports on the Audio filter and it seems like a great addition.

Is the Noise Blanker worth it?

Thanks...

I apologize ahead of time.. I will probably be posting to the list quite a 
bit when I get the radio...
