Hmmm, Now hold on there Ron :-) I figure, the K1 and K2, both coming from Elecraft, will have a similar operating feel. Small size, menu driven who knows what else. It will be quite a shift from my big Omni V, right?
I used to have a Corsair II. Prior to that I had an Omni D. I now have the Omni V. All 3 are different radios, yet they are distinctively TenTec and owning any of them will give you a taste of TT. No, owning an Omni D will not tell you whether or not you'd like an Omni V, but it puts you much closer than owning a TS-430s :-) So, I guess I hear what you're saying but I still think there is something of Elecraft to be learned by owning a K1 and some of those lessons can be applied to the K2. Of course, as always, I reserve the right to be totally WRONG :-) LOL!! 73 - Keith - ------------------ Still, whether or not you like the K1 will have nothing to do with your experience with a K2. That's almost like saying you'll buy a Ford Pickup to see if you'd like a Lincoln town car. As Mike said, they are different designs intended for different roles and different operators. They are both excellent rigs, but different in performance, features and functions.
