[Elecraft] Question on Purchase of K2

[Steven Pituch]

Hi Frank,
I have an early unmodified K2 #402 and it is gangbusters on 5W CW with one
of the unmodifieed early KSB2s.  I would not change a thing on mine as the
performance is so good, but with the filter improvements on the newer KSB2s
I think you should just get the K2 and the KSB2 as far as filtering goes.
Forget the audio filter for now, and maybe consider the DSP far into the
future.

I do have the KAT2 and its is wonderful.

Using the K2/KSB2/KAT2 with a 40 meter dipole about 12 feet average off of
ground and a manual tuner I have gotten 29 out of 32 Foxes this season in
the Foxhunts.  Most of the contacts were 329-229, something I could not have
managed with other (some expensive) radios I have used.  What I do is tune
the antenna with the MFJ tuner until it is close and then use the KAT2 for
perfect SWR.  I should probably try the KAT2 alone as this may work even
better.

Regards,
Steve, W2MY/5
