Thanks for the responses guys... I just have visions of two K2s in the 
shack glowing back at me.  Is it normal to have such visions?

It is so much fun building  these things.  I was debating whether of 
getting a regular HF rig from one of the major commercial outfits to be 
the "shack rig".. but to be honest, the K2 delivers more than what I 
would get from those guys so I started thinking.. why not TWO?  The K2 
twins.

I have actually owned three...  one was already built when I purchased 
it... the second one I built (pictures at my site 
http://www.n8xe.com/radio/k2.html, that's me 40 lbs ago!!   This is my 
second one that I have built.

Another reason why I would like two is while I am taking pictures of the 
stars (my other madness.. er.. uh.. hobby) work some QRP from the field 
with the lower power one.

Don't need an antenna tuner.. all my antennas are resonate on the bands 
of choice (which makes it nice).
Well.. I gotta get the stuff sold first (anyone interested in an Orion 
ED80 telescope?)
