Based on what you say, I'd suggest you get the K2. You don't have any of the needs for which the K1 is the better rig, and the $'s ain't that much different (you just have to abuse the math just right).
K1 = 359 = $90/band. K2 = 599 = $75/band. K2+K160RX = 638 = $71/band<g>. Dan / WG4S / K2 #2456 Darwin, Keith Thanks Mike, Due to cost limitations (I have too many hobbies, too few dollars) I find I'm usually running a very lean ship. One rig is about all I can have, maybe 2 tops. If I find the K1 is to my liking (menu-driven, QSK operation, sound of receiver, RX performance, etc) I'll consider going to a K2/100 as my only rig. I do basically no portable or field ops - except for field day where I'll carry a 12V deep cycle battery & my full size rig into the back yard - so having a portable battery operated rig is not that important to me. So far my K1 hasn't even shipped yet so I'll have to wait until my shipped sails in before I start making plans :-) - Keith KD1E - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
