[Elecraft] K2 for SO2R

[Jim Harris]

Hi,

Can anyone share their experience using a K2 as part of a SO2R station and especially for RTTY.  Seems with it's sensitive receiver, at least on receive, it would be a good choice.  I realize it is limited to AFSK only.  The RTTY filters can be narrowed to 4-500 Hz.  There has been considerable discussion in the past about operating high duty modes at power up to 100 watts.  I've never understood if that is a real or imagined limitation.

The other radio would be a K3.

Thanks for any useful comments.
