[Elecraft] Re: Suggestions for newbie HF Operator

[Matthew D. Pitts]

Thanks to all that replied to my question.

To those that suggest that I try other radios, I've done that on Field 
Day over the past few years. I really don't need some of the features of 
the commercial stuff; the K2 has everything that I would use, either 
already installed as part of the basic radio, or as an option.

For what it's worth, my intent at this point is local SSB (the local 
radio club has a 10 meter SSB net on Sundays), digital modes (probably 
PSK31 mostly) and probably some CW. I do intend to go for General and 
Extra over the next few months. I'm wanting a QRP radio, with the option 
of going QRO if needed.
