I have both K2 and K3. Although the K3 is my main station i am not considering to sell my K2 at all. Like Julian said, it is a home build rig and I am proud to have it. I once had a HW8 and sold it. Now feel sorry for doing so. I think when i should sell my K2 i will regret it in the near future. So...I keep both. Dick PA3CW
