[Elecraft] Long Term Reliability: K2 5 year anniversary

Even of you don't operate SSB and/or digital modes, there is still a reason
for building that SSB module.  In CW mode,  I have set FL1 to OP1 (SSB
filter), and the other three BW's to narrower CW filter values. The wider
bandwidth and flat passband response of the SSB filter is pleasing to the
ear and convenient for tuning the bands.

As for buying a late model K2, the thought has crossed my mind. However, I'm
still holding out for the 'next generation' Elecraft radio  ;-)

73,  John
