I am predominately a CW operator and I have the K2/100 (SN 1642 with most 
of the mods done) and the 756pro2. I haven't used the pro2 in weeks. The 
pro2 is a nice radio and performs very well indeed but the k2 is the better 
CW rig. The pro2 may have sharper filtering but I have not yet heard it 
copy a signal the K2 could not hear and In a couple of recent CW contests 
the K2 was the nicer radio.

Don't get me wrong, i am not knocking the Pro2, it's a fine radio that can 
really perform but the K2 is superb at coping with weak signals close to 
big ones and this is where the Rubber meets the road !
