[Elecraft] K2 and SSB

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

There's a small but significant advantage to staying with the "standard"
Elecraft OPT1 filter bandpass, rather than using one of the wider bandpasses
you can achieve with the optional capacitor kit. The narrower bandwidth
helps the S/N radio. The less bandwidth the 5 watts occupies, the "louder"
it'll be at the receiving end.

Okay, I've decided to install the SSB option.  After all, I paid for it so I

might as well use it.  I have a Kenwood MC-60A mic that I'm going to use
with 
it.  I hope to work some of you guys on the air.  Thanks for all of your 
input.
