For a while I was using my K2 barefoot with a Rigblaster to run PSK31 on 10m for the PropNet PSK project. It was last summer when I was doing so and I noted several openings. I made a couple of local and a few other PSK31 QSOs with it on other bands prior to getting it hooked up for PropNetPSK.
I hated to use the K2 for a dedicated project so I've since taken it offline and have been using it otherwise on lots of bands, mostly CW, but some SSB, all QRP and quite effectively. I tried using an HTX10 for a dedicated PropNetPSK rig, but the frequency stability and sensitivity leave a lot to be desired compared to the K2!
