[Elecraft] Just how good is the K2?

[Brad Hedges]

I have read all the reports. I have seen where various contesters use the
K2. I have even SEEN a K2 <grin>

But I just have a hard time getting over this six pound box the size of,
well, small.

I am in the market for a new primary rig for the shack. I'm getting a pretty
substantial tax refund, and short of an Orion, I can get *almost* any rig I
want. I have pretty much settled on a Yaesu FT-1000 MP Mk V Field, or a used
TenTec Omni VI+ if I can find one, but there is still that voice that says
"K2".

I need some pretty hard convincing. I just built a K1, and while I have yet
to get the transmitter pumping, the rest of the rig is every bit what I was
looking for.

But it's not a "primary station rig" - at least, not for me.

Help?


Thanks,
Brad
