Robin,

Since you have a KX3, why the K2?  In what ways 
(other than the fun of building it!) do you find 
the K2 better than the KX3 -- unless you have the 
K2/100?

I have K2/100, KX3, K3/100, etc. and my K2/100 is 
currently not in use.  Maybe I'll get it set up 
now that I have a second operating location.

73, Phil W7OX
