[Elecraft] K2 Kit Questions

[Jim Wiley]

 Phil -


I would definitely recommend considering the SSB option.  As another 
person mentioned, you will need it if you are contemplating using one of 
the data modes.  There is even the (remote) possibility you might want 
to use SSB at least occasionally <grin>. 


However, the beauty of the K2 is that you can add this option, and the 
K160 module, which I predict you will eventually want too, at some 
undefined later date.  Therefore, you don't have to plop down all the 
cash at once, and building some modules later will help with the 
inevitable "why am I not soldering something today?" feeling that will 
come upon you once the K2 has been finished for a while. 


Good luck with the K2.

A possible follow-up question --- one recommendation I received (indirectly out of band from this group) was that the SSB option was useful for the wider filter even if you do not plan to do SSB.
