[Elecraft] 2 k2

[Jack Brindle]

Guys, come on - the real answer? Because they are less than half the  
cost of an IC-7800 and outperform that radio also!

So if anyone who has two K2s is feeling guilty about it at this point,  
then follow these directions:
Find a nice box, well padded.
Place the extra K2 and its accessories in the box, packing it carefully.
Ship it to me!  Bet I won't feel guilty at all about having two...

Seriously, the reason I will eventually have two transceivers on my  
desk is for SO2R contesting. I am told that there is a lot to be said  
for having the audio of one radio working a band in your left ear, and  
the second receiver's audio in your right ear. It's supposed to greatly  
improve your contesting abilities, drive you nuts, or both!
