[Elecraft] K1 VS K2

[Dave]

Rich

For home shack use, it's no contest, my K2 gets used almost all the time.
BTW, I hardly ever use SSB.

For portable, I usually take both if taking the Jeep... but for hotels and
airline travel it's the K1. The K1 is very cute and works well, it's much
smaller in hand luggage and can easily work the world given a half decent
antenna.

Bottom line... build both!
