Hello Alan, I agree with you that K2 is a keeper. K2 is by far the best portable field day radio. With standy current as low as 180mA, it can be run all day long especially nowadays, high capability Li-Po cells are cheaply available.
A pack of 3300mAH 12.6v Li-Po cells can keep the K2 happy for a whole day even at 10-15 watt output power. 73 Johnny VR2XMC ----- 郵件原件 ---- 寄件人﹕ Alan D.

Hi Jim, Several years ago when I got my K3 (See http://wilcoxengineering.com/amateur-radio/elecraft-k3 ), I had the Icom 746-Pro. Not quite what you have now, but it didn't take me long to sell the Icom. The Icom is a nice rig, but as the other responses indicate, the K3 is far better. I like the Elecraft because it's so easily serviced, and if there's a problem, the folks at Elecraft respond quickly. A person answers the phone, and I really appreciate that. You have a good little K2, and you'll be happy keeping it along with your new K3! 73, Alan Alan D.
