W0MY and I also used a K2/100 with Acom 1010 amplifier for my VK9XG and our VK9CG operation. The K2 performed admirably and never missed a beat. There is a lot in that little box with no compromises. A nice aside is they can be carried in a carry on backpack without any problems. I intend to use this rig for my trips from now on! 73, Charlie, W0YG..>>
