Hello Phil – Yes, I have read that in some of the eHam reviews about the KDSP2. Some people apparently didn’t like the more nuanced adjustment process. I don’t remember why I opted for the KAF2 in my first K2; but by the time I got the second one the KDSP2 was already gone. In fact, that was in part why I bought the second kit. Other than the DZKit Sienna, the K2 is the last kit of its kind on the market so far as I can tell. SMCs and the like seem to be making traditional components less profitable to manufacture and sometimes harder to find. The base K2 itself has had some changes due to sourcing problems (for example, ICs now nearing the size of dust mites mounted on more reasonably macroscopic carrier boards.) Someday even the K2 may succumb. Losing the KDSP2 seemed like a milepost on that road. I wanted a second kit before that happened.
Happy holidays to you, and all.

But it is fussy to adjust and many seem to prefer the KAF2.

As I understand it, having both was never possible – it was one or the other. Maybe someone can offer a comparison . . .
