[Elecraft] A few questions before ordering the K2 kit...

[Don Cunningham]

Thomas,
I see a couple of very informative messages in reply to your questions, so I 
won't repeat but one has really not been answered simply.  The APP connector 
is short for Anderson Power Pole.  Google that and you will get an education 
on a connector set that is becoming a defacto standard.

I have the K3 and love it so far, but am resisting the strong urge to build 
the K2 "just for the fun of it", having begun as a new ham many years ago 
building Heathkits.  I miss the fun of that, and, although the "building" of 
the K3 was fun, it doesn't match the smell of rosin in the shack, hi.

The main thing, Thomas, is to ENJOY your trip as a radio amateur.  I have 
loved my 38 years in amateur radio and have many friends I would never have 
made without it.  It has become a valued part of life for me.

73 and welcome to a good list,
Don, WB5HAK
