Not that anyone would doubt it, but the K2 can also be a player in the
big leagues too: I had 1335q x 79 mults, although the K2 did have a
Henry 2K helping it along. I received a number of comments of
"excellent sounding signal". Using a Heil DX-4 headset mic.
And next year I should have a second K2 ready (and maybe even an
Elecraft amplifier).
Who needs $10K radios..........?
