I know I like the flexibility of hooking up my K2/100 to my Commander HF 2500. I am then able to use QRP or medium power or QRO as conditions dictate. But a big solid state amp would be very nice - - no more worries about tube replacement cost and availability. And no more tune-ups either just when that elusive DX station appears ready to QRT.

Yes, Blasphemy in the eyes of the 'QRP only' folks, but consider that the K2 has grown in respect by leaps and bounds - at first it was considered a 'toy radio' by some, but it has become noticed by not only the QRP folks, but also by the QRO, contesting, and DX communities as a superb receiver coupled with a good transmitter. It just makes good business sense to expand the market to all potential customers. It is not necessary to buy the BIG AMP, the basic QRP K2 is still the same as before - each to his own, and Elecraft is managing to provide products that promise to appeal to all persuasions within Ham Radio. Elecraft now has, or will soon have, products that encompass the field from handheld portable HF radios to full legal limit gear. That is quite an accomplishment for the 'folks at Aptos'. Take your pick, minimalistic QRP or full power QRO - Elecraft has something to fit your wants and desires. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > >Blasphemy!! > > -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
