[Elecraft] K2 SSB question.

I agree with Jim, KL7CC. I recently completed the KSB2 module for my K2 (S/N 5995) and I also
use a Kenwood MC-43 hand mic. I even received unsolicited positive comments on my TX
audio quality in a recent SSB contest that I participated in. I believe that there may have been
some issues with SSB audio in the earlier days of the K2 but those have been long resolved.
I also have a K1 and I can say without hesitation that the K1 is a great little radio but the K2 receiver is
truly amazing in comparison. In spite of the fact that the K2 design is almost 15 years old, its RX performance
still ranks up there with radios costing nearly 10 times as much. If you can build a K1 you can build a K2, it just
requires some patience. As KL7CC said the nice thing is that you can build a basic K2 and add on options over
time.
