K2 #5957 with NB, DSP and amp also worked great. Ok, it's not a K3 or some such rig. Not saying it is. However, I worked everything I heard, hunting and pouncing my way to over 550 contacts and over 500K points [claimed]. I had a "new" DSP unit that replaced an "old" one [long story], and it was a charm. I like getting more out of less, so the K2 fits my style. That said, it's a great little rig. If you want to build one - a great ham radio experience - the resulting radio will hold its own in just about any situation. The K3 and other "big" rigs no doubt do better, but, I doubt that they do so very much better as to make the K2 obsolete. If a ham decides to go the K2 route he/she won't be disappointed.
