[Elecraft] K2 SSB Question

[Ignacy]

I used and did some testing with original KSB2 and QRP mode. The SSB signal
is readable and useful although neither contest nor HiFi quality. While it
does not have RF processing, it has some compression to a degree that
outboard speech processors do not help any more. The narrow signal may be an
advantage if running QRP where readability is more important than fidelity. 

I used K2 in my home country, SP, using a 60 ft long wire at 20ft with 2
15ft radials, all directly attached to KAT2.  On 80m, I worked many of my
old buddies within a 250 miles radius, and nobody had any trouble copying. A
feat with a 4 lb self contained radio (powered by 2 x 11V/1.5AH LI-Ion
batteries)+ 1 lb bag of accessories.
