In the CQ 160 CW contest this past winter we used my K2/100 (SN 850 A)with
the KDSP2.
No receive antenna (that's a whole story by itself!) and an Inverted-L with
a flock of radials.
Probably 80% of the time we ran with out any NR or DSP filters. If you
could put a dollar
amount on multipliers, the KDSP2 got us about 4 non-North American mults
that we most
likely would not have been 99.9% sure that he was coming back to us without it.
In the month or two after the contest the thing got me another 5 countries
that I probably
would not have heard well enough to work.
Would a KAF2 done that? Don't know - the other K2/100 (SN 3519 B) has a
KAF2 but no
160M board in it yet, but I don't think so.
That said, I don't like the KDSP2 at all for normal QSO's or HF contesting
(160 is MF), but
it's like that hammer drill I talked the wife into letting me get -- when
you need it to do the
job, you're glad you have it.
And the clock is cute!
