I have played with a KX3. I own a K3/100. I built a KX1 and K1. For some
reason I just love the K2.  It just feels right to me. I have my K3 and my
Dads old K2 sitting side by side and I always turn on the K2. Not sure why
this is. Maybe it is the simplicity of the rig. I don't know but I just had
to build another K2! I sold one (mistake) then inherited my dads after he
became a silent key. I will put his on the shelf to remember him and use my
new one when done. I think it will be a basic K2/10 with no SSB and only the
DSP and ANT tuner.

Congratulations Keith.  I built my K2 #7240 in Nov 2011 so it's good to know
that K2's are still being sold at a steady clip.

Take as much time as you need to get it right. It's a very well put-together
kit and an impressively engineered transceiver.

I, too, have wanted to build a K2 for years.  I got the bug really bad a few
months back and then learned that a friend of mine had an unbuilt K2 that he
decided (for health reasons) that he could not build.  So I bought #6195 and
began building it at about the same time as Christophe and Keith.

I'm nearly done with the control board and so far I am loving the
experience.

Dave, I have learned some things from you in the past (enclosure
construction using PCBs) and your K2 blog has already give me a couple of
useful hints.  Thanks.

It's nice to see we still have dedicated "solder jockeys" hanging around the
list.

The control board for K2 #7375 is complete. The front panel board is finished
but not yet in the metal front panel. Getting a little tired tonight and I
don't want to scratch the front panel or do anything dumb like that! So I
think thats enough for now. Back to it tomorrow!
