[Elecraft] K2 compared to others rigs

[Bill Johnson]

Unless you are willing to spend more than double that, or find a great
bargain, you will be hard pressed to find anything better than the K2 IMHO.
I have a Kenwood TS2000 for xbanding vhf/uhf and back up, but prefer the K2.
If you have the DSP unit, etc., that to me does it all. I am building a 2nd
K2 which will haved the KPA100,etc.  My original is a fully equipped QRP
portable radio.

Now that I've been using my K2 serial # 5719 for a while, I am a bit
disappointed in my Ten-Tec Jupiter, particularly when there are strong CW
signals on adjacent frequencies. I was always a Ten-Tec fan and loved my
Corsair II, but wanted to try a newer design radio. Now, I'm thinking of
selling or trading the Jupiter, but I wonder what's out there in the $1200
to $1500 range (new or used) that might be a step up from the Jupiter in
receiver performance. Without opening up a can of worms, I'd like to hear
some feedback on the IC 746 Pro, Ten-Tec Omni VI, TS-2000 or any others I
may have over-looked. What else are you guys using?

Thanks for this great resource. It's been a great help in getting to know my
K2.
