[Elecraft] K2 For Club Radio?

[Robert G Strickland]

Tom...

I have used my K2 on three field days recently and am about to take it 
on the club field day coming up. Works great. I have a K3 with KP500, so 
I do have some experience comparing the two. Obviously, the K3 is the 
"better" radio. That said, the K2 is really close. Added to that is the 
fun of building it and the K2 mojo. It's not hard to operate, allowing 
for the nested menus. The average ham can get with it pretty quickly.

Fond memories of Missoula and Montana from the 60's.
