Great Ric!, I've done that three times now ... all became active hams
once they had a rig good enuf to make!Q's. I'm not quite ready to part
with my K2 [#4398], but when I do, that's how it will go.

I had an early K2, reviewed it for NCJ, loved it for a long time, then got
an early K3. Instead of trying to sell an old, low-value K2, I gave it to a
friend who gave it to a beginner he was mentoring. I felt that was a good
home for it and a good use for a radio I no longer needed. Consider this,
folks - helping a beginner with a radio might be the best thing you can do
for ham radio. Just don't give away a lemon, or a rig that isn't up to
spec, to a beginner who might not know what to do about it. Any give-away
rig should be accompanied by a squawk list and advice on how to proceed!

Bear in mind the K2 has been around for over 20 years, and was built
from a kit by hams with variable degrees of soldering skills and had
quite a few modifications since the early ones were produced.
My K2 has given me good service, but I cannot remember the last time
it was used, I built in around 2001. Even with its A to B mods,
upgraded SSB filter crystals, ATU, 160m and DSP board, I wouldn’t
expect it to fetch over $400.
