Well, I have to agree with a lot of the sentiment expressed here - I have a K2, and would like another one. Certainly can't afford the price of an IC-7800 - E or otherwise!! ;) However I did have a chance to see 4 of them in play at our Field Day site and operated one myself for a bit. My net impression is an agreement with the stuff between the [snip]s. We were 4A with a GOTA station - perhaps 80 feet between each of the three towers and a little more than that to the GOTO Windom. The only problem experienced was some RF interference with the headsets. Pull the plug of the headset and the interference was not heard in the speaker. This is running CW/SSB on the same bands with no auxiliary filtering. It was a radio that was very easy on the ears and very easy to use radio. Would I buy one if I had that kind of discretionary cash - oh, probably! But I would still keep my K2 QRP and add a KP2/100 as well. But I don't so I will just save some money for a K2/100.
