[Elecraft] K2 question on options

[R Thompson]

My K2 is near completion, minus the options, which haven't been ordered
yet.  There is one or two where a decision must be made, and I'd very
much appreciate some help with them.

The big one would be whether to add on the traditional audio filter or
the DSP instead.  I'd like to keep current draw down for battery
operation, and I'm not sure if I like the sound of heavily DSP filtered
audio (as it sounds on my IC-703).  The bigger noise issues I have seem
to be AC power line buzz, and ignition noise if I use it mobile.
Hopefully the noise blanker option will handle the latter.  Is DPS worth
the extra money and load on a battery?

Other options I'm looking to add are the noise blanker, the SSB board,
and likely the transverter and 160 metre options.

Any recommendations?
