I've built 5 K2s. The last one is a keeper. I built several for other
people. I still get a kick out of turning it on and making contacts with
a "kit" radio. Mine is a 100 watts, ssb adapter and the outboard tuner.
Wired for a Kenwood hand mike. I often think that if it was the only rig
I owned I would be completely satisfied. Receiver sounds great and I get
great audio reports. If anyone has ever considered building one - go for
it. The satisfaction of turning it on and making contacts with something
you put some serious time in to build is an experience I highly
recommend. I don't know if I've ever operated a better cw transceiver.
And even in a crowded band on 20, it can hold its own. I love it.

I'm 20 years late to the game but I finally built a K2. What a satisfying
project to build, and a delightful rig to operate. It doesn't have all the
performance and features of my fully-updated K3, but it's a great little
radio nonetheless.
I finished the final alignment and test Tuesday and have used it a couple
evenings now.
Now to build the SSB adapter and the 100 W amp.
