[Elecraft] K2: DSP for CW ?

[Robert Tellefsen]

Hello Simon
I think the KDSP2 is beneficial under all conditions.
It provides three features, any one of which can be important
at a given moment.
The most obvious one is audio filtering, supplementing the
internal crystal filter.
The next obvious feature is Noise Reduction, not necessarily
a problem in the field, but it could be.
The final feature, not always recognized, is a small amount
of additional audio gain when DSP is engaged.  It is set
during the setup process, and can compensate for audio level
lost in narrower bandwidths.
I have my KDSP2 engaged when I'm out on our annual ARRL Field
Day every year.
Good luck and 73

On behalf of a 'friend' - if you are only using the K2 for portable CW is 
the DSP really beneficial?

He is not thinking about the 100 watt option, just the basic radio for 
portable use.

He has the T1 ATU, are any other options essential?
