[Elecraft] K2 Question

[Jessie Oberreuter]

      The basic 15w K2 w/ internal ATU is my primary rig and, as a mostly
CW op, completely meets my needs.  My contesting partner, Ki7el, runs a
40m MFJ on sideband, and we do just fine together.  Personally, we love
the ability to pack our gear in a pair of laptop bags and be on the air
with no fuss.  I've also operated a fair amount of sideband on the K2 and
it servers me just fine :).
      I did buy the 100w PA with my K3 b/c I thought it would be nice to 
have at least one radio with some punch, but I practically never turn the 
wick up.
      Wait, you have a K3 but the K2 is your primary rig?  Yep.  The K3 is
the fancy shack rig; the K2 lives on my bedroom desk and also does all of
the contest traveling.  What can I say?  It's smaller, lighter, simpler,
more at home in the rough, and it's a great performer!
