[Elecraft] K1 VS K2

Mon Jul 7 01:30:02 2003

Rich -    If travel size is not a consideration, I would get the K2.  I sold
my TS 850 when I built my K2 and it is now my main rig.  I operate 100% CW
and when conditions get really bad, I can crank the K2 all the way up to 13
watts.  Sometimes, it makes a difference. I also have a K1 and mostly use it
portable.  I think the K1 would do nicely for a home rig, if the K2 wasnt so
handy.  The K2 costs about 40% more  and takes about twice as long to build
but thats only a 3db increase.   73    Rick   K7MW
