[Elecraft] K2 purchase considered

[John Daws]

Advice and opinions sought please

 

Am a CW only operator with retro tendencies! I enjoy QRP but also the
flexibility to QRO to 50 watts (maximum allowed for the intermediate
licence)

 

Have used a KX3 since 2016 and added a KXPA 100 +ATU last year 

 

Am really tempted to get a K2 to use alongside the above- I have an
experienced builder here in the UK.

 

Everything I have read about the K2 excites me!!

 

 

If I order the basic K2+ KNB2+KAF2 I can presumably use this combination
with the KXPA100+ATU which I already have?

 

Is there any other combination or extra I should look at as a literally CW
only operator??

 

I do not need KSB2 or the K160m options.

 

(Would buy second hand if I could find a good one but would need to know a
lot about the provenance of the builder)

 

Would be really interested to hear what folks think

 

Best
