[Elecraft] k2 question

[Robert Tellefsen]

Frank
The K2 tuning experience is smooth, but a bit different.
The K1 is continuous tuning with an LC oscillator.
The K2 uses a sort of synthesizer, in that the tuning
goes about 5 kHz then there is a "tick" as the internal
works switches to the next 5 kHz range.  For all
practical purposes, it is continuous tuning.  An
advantage to the K2 tuning is that you can change
the tuning rate from the front panel.  Mine has three
different tuning rates which I just love.

> K2 users, I'm thinking about building a k2 for myself.I built the k1 and
do use it.Is the VFO operation better than the k1? I guess, I mean ,is it
smooth to use for hours of tuning the bands or is it similar to the k1?
