         George, that would definitely not pass my ergonomics test!  Not
one but two radios in tandem to keep track of when I'm already sleep-
deprived in a contest?  No thanks. The K2 really doesn't need additional
IF DSP capability IMHO.  It simply needs slightly better filtering on the
front end and a more user-friendly ergonomic design.
