[Elecraft] K2 Kit Questions

[Phil Hystad]

Gang,

So, I am thinking that another kit is in my future.  I have a K3 and a KX1 and I am thinking about the K2.  I would be using it for CW and QRP or 2*QRP only.  So, I wouldn't plan on getting the SSB option and I am not planning on the 100 watt PA or the ATU.

But, I do have questions about filters (remember, CW usage only).

1.  Question:  is the radio a completely analog radio (no DSP) if you DO NOT buy the DSP filter option?

2.  Question:  is the DSP filter worth the money?

3.  Question:  is the Audio filter useful?  Is the Audio filter still useful if I buy the DSP filter?

Any other comments and suggestions are definitely accepted.
