There's no point in building something if I can buy something similar
for less money.
Greetings Nigel-
I can't argue with you because I don't have any stats (just like you),
but for me, the only reason I chose the K2 was because I could build it
myself. I could have bought used kenwoods all day on ebay for 1/3 the
money and been on the air in minutes. I thought about spending that
extra $300-$400 long and hard.
I imagine this conversation comes up on the list about 4 times a year,
so why reply? It's hard for me to read someone's theory that goes so
completely against my own experience and not respond. It's definitely a
weakness. For that I apologize!
