[Elecraft] Looking at Elecraft kits

[Stephen Przepiora]

Hello All, As a newly licensed tech, I am looking around for radio's. I am
interested in the Elecraft kits, but am debating whether to get the KX1 and
then an older used radio for home or to just get a K2.

I do a bit of camping and hunting, over the course of a year probably spend
about a month in the woods but none of it is hiking so extreme portability
isn't that much of an issue. It might be in the future and I will get a KX1
for that, but right now it would be a matter of dragging a car battery to a
table at most 50 feet.

The fact is budgets being what they are, I probably can only afford a basic
K2 right now. I am trying hard to learn the code and I am slowly progressing
so it may seem like a waste to buy a basic K2 now without knowing code, but
if I do not get it now, I will not be able to afford it again for a while.

My main concern is if I get a basic K2 without any extras, is it easy to add
things later on? It seems like it would be, but I just want to make sure.

Thank you,
Steve
