On the surface it seems a silly question. I am considering finally purchasing
one of the above, but the decision actually seems to be a struggle. So I guess
I'll ask for some voices of experiences.
*** What I do not need:
I do not need something that will operate anything other than CW, so I don't
need the ability to send SSB or the IF bandwidth to receive SSB (I love the
simple variable bandwidth of my KX1).
I do not need something that will operate on bands I can't get for a K1 (80-15
is fine, and I have the info on how to do 160 if I wish).
I do not need power beyond what I can get from a K1 (5W is fine).
I do not need computer control or direct frequency entry.
*** What I have heard:
I have heard some state that they actually feel that the LC VFO in the K1 is
quieter and nicer than the PLL VFO in the K2.
I have likewise heard some say that they feel the K1 is more sensative than the
K2 (thought I do not recall why, save just personal impression).
*** What I am looking for:
Opinions?
