There is something about the intuitive controls and Elegant simplicity of the K2 that I have gotten accustomed to - plus the fact that it I built it from scratch. I will always have a K2 regardless. The K2/100 is the icing on the cake. Just turn the crank and have 100 watts is nice. Between a k2/100 and a KX3 - get a K2 ESP as a new ham. Then get a KX3.
