[Elecraft] K2 w/ KPA100 for sale

[Bob & Debbie Fish]

Hello All,
I have come to the conclusion that I enjoy building the gear more than 
actually operating the gear. I am getting the urge to build something 
again, and the purchasing dept. ( my lovely wife) refuses approve 
funding for this new project. (I dont blame her). So it is with great 
reluctance that I offer the following for sale:
K2  #4351 With: KSB2, KAT2, KIO2   also the KPA100 which is built into a 
separate EC2 enclosure.
I have worked as an electronics tech for over 20 years. I think I did a 
pretty good job building this stuff,  it worked the first time I powered 
it up and has worked great ever since.
I was going to eventually install KAT-100 tuner into the KPA-100 
enclosure but haven't got around to it yet. This could be easily done 
and would be a nice enhancement to this rig. The way it is set up now, 
you can operate it at home with 100 watts or to go portable (which I 
have not done), you just disconnect the cables from the back of the K2 
and off you go, antenna tuner and all.(no switching top covers). The I/O 
cable is a "Y" cable that not only connects the K2 with the KPA100 it 
also connects to the serial port of a PC. So you can control the rig 
with software. I will include all interconnecting cables.
 I am already having second thoughts and I haven't even finished typing 
the ad. I would definitely keep it if I had adequate funding for new 
projects. The rig works great, I have been very happy with it. I have 
made contacts all over the world on SSB and CW.  I will build another 
one someday I'm sure.

I have about 1400 dollars into this rig (not counting my time) and I 
will let it go for $1250.00


Reluctantly,

Bob  K6GGO
