Greetings Nigel-

I can't argue with you because I don't have any stats (just like you), 
but for me, the only reason I chose the K2 was because I could build it 
myself. I could have bought used kenwoods all day on ebay for 1/3 the 
money and been on the air in minutes. I thought about spending that 
extra $300-$400 long and hard.

I imagine this conversation comes up on the list about 4 times a year, 
so why reply? It's hard for me to read someone's theory that goes so 
completely against my own experience and not respond. It's definitely a 
weakness. For that I apologize!
