[js]

Hi Group,

First of all, I am both an ICOM and K2(s) user.  Before we make any
comparison between IC7800 and K2, I am looking forward to learning from a
ham who really operates these two rigs.  As we are all aware, sometimes
number itself is not necessarily representing the whole picture.

Shall we keep our finger crossed and wait for some one who really operates
these two rigs.
