[Elecraft] Re： Some thoughts on the K3 as an emergency communications station

Yes, David.  K2 is even more mechanically stronger than K3 and with internal 
battery.  If 2m is needed, a 2m handheld + a small portable 20w linear will give 
you the power but much less standy current.

station

I would have thought the K2 was even better in some ways:

- less than a third of the receive current requirements;

- field repairable;

- whilst not as tolerant of close in signals, it is still very tolerant, 
and a disaster scenario ought to be a cooperative environment (otherwise 
you have human, rather than engineering problems), unlike a contest. 
I'd suggest this was more an issue in regional or national control 
centres, where power and weight would be lesser issues.
