[Elecraft] K2 QRO or Not?

[js]

HI John,

The KSB2 adaptor is a very good option and should be installed to form a
complete K2.  A used SSB rig is unlikely to match the performance of K2.

On the other hand, if you really want QRO, have you considered a separate HF
linear amplifer?  I use my K2 to drive my ICOM ICPW-1 and can get a fully
500 watts output.
