[Elecraft] K2 maiden flight

[2rGarry]

You said: Quote: I did order the NB module yesterday, tho, as the rig is
basically unusable at night now due to the line noise. I believe that's the
last thing I really need to add to the rig. Unquote

Congrats once again on the K2 and the QSO.  I don't have the noise blanker
and unless I go mobile don't expect to have any need for it but it seems I
have heard that it is not effective on anything other than ignition noise. 
I hope you don't find that to be the case.  Possibly the DSP unit would
serve you better for help in conquering the noise issue although back when I
owned a K3 I did not find the DSP in that radio to be nearly as effective as
I had hoped.

I confess to being extremely fortunate where I live as noise is seldom a
problem and I find the K2 to have a very nice quiet receiver.  When I had to
deal with considerable noise, some time back, I discovered that using a
magnetic loop type of antenna for receive was a very effective way to reduce
noise that I could not otherwise eliminate.

So far I really like my K2, qrp version for cw
