[Elecraft] K2 Options

[Phil Wheeler]

Jim,

I tend to agree, though the K2 is still a very 
credible rig. The K3 replaced mine as my main 
station radio in early 2014.  Used K3 or even the 
TS-590S would be a good choice.

"it was designed before the turn of the century!" 
makes it sound like Marconi used it :-)
