N0SS commented that despite quite a bit of time with his K2, he hadn't
gotten any reports of key clicks.  Whether this is due to some K2s being
a bit better than others or favorable circumstances, I don't know.

I'm one of four VR2s that live <500m of each other - three of us are very
QRV on HF CW.  Two of us watch each other with spectrum analyzers &
we can tell what the other is using from the display.

A serious power spike on first key down from one of my other rigs means the
K2 this weekend will be driving a GU74B & I can only hope that the other two
guys will be out of town.

There's a chance that we can all get along if the K2 can stop trashing them
when it transmits - and they might switch to K2s themselves if this can be 
licked
(then we all will be better off).
