[Elecraft] Getting ready to buy a K2. Request your input

[Robert Jones]

Hello all,

I'm getting ready to order my K2 and would like your
input on what options and "mods" I should get based on
the following:

I just upgraded to General class and have zero
experience on HF bands.  My boy/girl 17 year old twins
have there tech license and are getting ready to test
for there General. So this project is going to be a
family made and ran rig.  

Since I live in an apartment, I want a low power rig.
I also think the challenge of trying to "work the
world" on low power is going to be a lot of fun. I
also envision taking this rig camping a lot.  

I want to use CW and SSB.  At some point down the road
I will start adding transverters. 

I have a hearing problem that causes me not understand
anything being said to me if I get input from two
differant souces. Like being on the phone and someone
in the room starts talking to me.  Because of this I
will be getting the Proset-K2 Headset. 

I have excellent soldering skills, so have no fear of
tackling this type to project.

I plan to get involved in emergency communications in
my local area.  My son has already completed his
Emergency Management training for the county and will
want to take the rig to his on going training
sessions.

I think that about covers it. Again, I would like to
get everything up front and would really appreciate
any and all suggestions on what add-ons to get to make
my K2 a great unit.

Thanks for your time,
Robert
