[Elecraft] newbie question

[Vin Cortina]

Hi Mike,

First of all, let me tell you I don't even have a K2.

That said, my advice for this (or anything else, for that matter), would be 
"What are you going to use the rig for?"  Are you a CW op only, or do you 
really love operating SSB?  Do you feel you will have fun without the 100W 
option?  (you will) If you are only going to operate at home, or already 
have some sort of portable ATU, you can (at least temporaily) do without the 
ATU.  Must you have 160M right now?

You get the idea.  Every piece of information I have heard and seen on the 
K2 is that it will fly wonderfully on its own.  Too much solid evidence from 
people who have forgotten more knowledge than I will ever have says so.

Good luck with your decision.
