Have to second the above. The radio's electronics speak for themselves. 
That said, what blew me away - and still does - is the above mentioned 
precision mechanical fit and tolerances. When I put my K2 together and 
every kit since then, I was constantly amazed that all holes lined up 
perfectly, and I do mean perfectly. Given the excellence of the 
electronics one might expect that the mechanicals would have gotten a 
so-so treatment. Not so! Like two mirrors reflecting each other with 
nothing in between to mar the reflections. When I think of it, it's not 
so surprising since excellence begets excellence. If you happen to 
browsing this list to get a feel for the product, look no further. This 
is it!
