I really enjoy my K2/100. I use it weekly for CWT’s, MST’s & SST’s with N1MM+. I usually operate the tests barefoot but sometimes run a KPA1500 with the K2.
The shift/width controls are not as versatile as my K3S but I don’t need em for the 1 hr CW tests. Computer control of the K2 and K3s is essentially the same. I built the K2/100 myself and, as Wayne said, there is some additional fulfillment when using a radio that you assembled yourself. 73//k5mm/ron Sent from my iPad > On Jul 14, 2022, at 5:30 PM, Fred Jensen <k6dg...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Complex, multivariate problem Brian, sensitivity being only one variable, > and some of the variables are very subjective.
