Hi Peter, When I built my K2, #3481, I was quite happy with it on CW, except for the QSK. On SSB I was not happy at all. There were three problems - tripping the vox, bandwidth and compression. There are a few mods listed that helped both. Changed a resistor so the HC5 tripped the vox fine, installed the mod to increase the SSB bandwidth to 2.4KHZ, and installed the mod to increase the compression. Now I am very happy with my K2 on SSB. The mods I mentioned are listed on http://www.qslnet.de/member/la3za/K2/mod.html I will again be bringing my K2 to WP2Z. It is a great rig when the pileups are hot and heavy. 73, N2TK, Tony

I bought a K2 for SSB use ( + DSP option ). In various reviews ( e.g. EHAM ) I noticed that K2's CW performance can't be praised too highly, but there is a bit reserve as to the SSB performance. In which respects - if at all - lags the SSB performance ? And what would cause this ? Thanks for any comment. This is a great reflector.
