[Elecraft] Ponderings

Richard;

I would opt for the third option (separate K2/100) for just one  
reason. As you mentioned below, you have "A Son in scouting,  
baseball, and band." Is he interested in ham radio yet? When you do  
get him addicted, you will want to have a separate station for him to  
work with besides your main one. It could definitely be a huge  
advantage to have a second rig at the ready, one for you and one for  
him to practice, operate, etc.

I'm looking at a similar situation - KG6YMN (my 14 year old) is  
showing signs of wanting to upgrade from technician. He thoroughly  
enjoyed operating the GOTA station at Field Day. The possibility of  
having to share my K2/100 is making me contemplate other options...
