[Elecraft] K2 As Only Rig in Shack

[EricJ]

I reduced mine to a K1 and K2, and have no regrets at all. I operate 90+% CW
and the other 10% or so between SSB and PSK31 (with a PSK20). I still have
my TS-950 but it has not been turned on since January when I got the K1, and
is currently in its original shipping box awaiting my ability to overcome
inertia and stick it on ebay.

Currently, I have no interest in the K2/100 option as 5 watts has been doing
everything I want to do, but my interests in this hobby have changed before
and doubtless they will change again. I'd agree with the other poster
(forgot who) who advised keeping a rig for a "station monitor". I
particularly agree with his idea to have one that is just plain fun--like
his choice of a HW-101--something you always wanted to have, but wouldn't
choose for your only rig. A quality boat anchor would satisfy that.

Has anyone reduced his rig collection to just a K2/100 and regretted it?
 If so, would you mind sharing your reasons why?  I'm considering doing just
that - the reducing, not the regretting.  :-)  A lot of very personality
dependent variables in the decision, but I'm curious nevertheless.

Thanks & 73!
