I find just as much enjoyment with R-390As and SP-600s.
I guess if a K2 suits you, go for it!
I run separate transmitter and receiver in my shack. There is a great
deal of joy in doing just that.
I'm tired of the $10K transceiver that is SS that you can't even work on
with SMT equipment.
Guess it in the eyes and ears of the beholder.
