[Elecraft] K2 vs. TT OMNI VI+

[Keith Regli]

 I haven't done a side by side test yet, but I can give you some
observations...

I built my K2 only a month ago and I've had my two OMNI VI+'s about 4 years.
I mostly do RTTY and CW contesting.  K2 has internal DSP, OMNI has external
Timewave 599zx.

In my casual observation the K2 is a more sensitive receiver.  I think that
in contest conditions the OMNI does a little better with adjacent signals.
Both are easy to use, but I think the K2 is simpler.  The OMNI is a little
more flexible, especially for RTTY.  The K2 takes up about 1/4 the desk
space and the KAT100 is much superior to the AT-11MP that I use with the
OMNI.  I like both radios very much and would be very happy with either -
fortunately I don't have to choose.

Can't comment on the high speed QSK, I haven't been able to copy that fast
for 25 years.

I don't have a K2 yet but considering to obtain it very soon. I would be
interested to know if some reflectees compared receiver performace of the TT
Omni VI+ and K2 (DR for 2 kHz spacing and phase noise, birdies etc). Another
point of interest is the QSK - I know that the QSK of K2 is good but not
astonishing, I am interested on QSK at 40+ wpm.  What is the upper QSK
limit?

Apologies for bandwidth, 73
