[Elecraft] selling other radios in favor of a K2

[Ken Kopp]

I purchased my K2 (S/N 5665) solely on the "word" of a fellow 
DX'peditioner and contester KE7X.  Some of you will recognize 
the name of the group Fred belongs to ... Team Vertical.  They 
use only K2/00's.  Before retirement limited my spending, I was 
a member of this group.

My shack ... all at the same time ... housed an FT-1000D, an 
FT-990 and an IC-756 Pro II.  All are fine radios, but since building 
my K2 and using it for a year I'm prepared to say it's every bit as 
good as any of the three and they've all been sold.  

Yes, part of the reason for selling them is to finance my K3, but 
they've not been missed and I have no regrets. If I had wanted to 
keep one of them, it would have been the FT-1000D.  An FL-7000 
solid state PA went out the door too, along with three KW and two 
275 W Matchboxes.

I've been licensed and continously active on CW since 1951 and
it's been a very long time since I've had as much "fun" with the
hobby.  Look for me on 7036 most evenings.
