Hi Ron! I just bought a K2 after wanting one for the last few years. I haven't built it yet, but here is a rundown of what I got:
KNB2-a noise blanker is always nice to have. K160M-not ideal for QRP, but still it is worth trying. KAF2-I am mostly a CW guy. My ICOM and Yaesu both have DSP, and I don't like the audio quality. Sometimes analog filters are better. I have heard that the KAF2 is more intended for the CW crowd. KSB2-although I am a CW guy, I got this option because I wanted the filter options and the better audio fidelity on SSB receive KAT2-since this is going to be one of the QRP rigs I would take on trips, the antenna tuner saves me from having to lug an external one. I did not get the internal battery. I figure a external gel cell can power all my radios in the field. Hope this helps! 73, David KC9EHQ K1 s/n 2051 K2 s/n 7164 Sent from my iPod ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
