[Elecraft] RE: K2 Options - Order of Building?

[COLIN WHITMORE]

Henry,

My order of preference is based on the percentage 
of usage. That is, what option does the most for 
you, and when.

1. TC-PLL Upgrade - This will improve the K2's 
basic design. % Usage: 100

2. KSB2 - This will give you an additional 
operating mode(s). % Usage: Varies with your 
operating habit.

3. KNB2 - This will improve your noise reduction. 
% Usage: Only used in environments needing pulse 
noise reduction. Varies with your operating location.

4. K160RX - This will give you a new band. % Usage: 
I would save this for last. You won't really capitalize 
on this band until the winter. Additionally, it will 
give you all summer and fall to complete the other 
options/upgrades before you would actually use 
this feature.

Cheers,
Colin

PS - You may want to consider the KAT2 (if you 
don't already have it) as well. It will make the K2 
an excellent portable rig (or desktop for that matter).

Hi Elecrafters,

Well, bliss has arrived here at the QTH.  My 
adopted K2 is happy that I finally purchased some 
options to help it "stand tall" next to the 1000MP.  
In the mail today came the TC-PLL Upgrade, 
K160RX, KNB2, and KSB2.  

We would like to know from you experienced builders 
which order should we build these options; or does 
it not really matter?

73,
Henry - K4TMC
and K2 #3137
