I would be curious to know what most folks think about the DSP vs KAF2. Are
they getting the DSP for SSB use only? I intend on using CW only for quite a
while. Is the DSP going to help me that much more than the KAF2?

BTW - FWIW... I bought the KAF2 thinking that I might use the audio filter but
I really wanted it for the clock (what's a station without a clock!?)... and
after seeing how configurable the IF filtering is on the K2, I wonder if I'll
ever really need the KAF2 for anything except the clock? My KAF2 is still
unbuilt - it is patiently waiting in line behind the KAT2 and KNB2.
