Hey folks,
Well, last night I did something foolish. I put a bit on a K1 on e-bay.
I bit near the max I thought the rig was worth but figured I'd be out
bid. I wasn't. I won. Oh great, I'm not sure I really was planning on
that, but hey, I got the rig so ...
Some time next week I expect a

fun comparing it to my TenTec Omni V. I could see me replacing both
with a K2/100 some day ...
I don't think one should consider the K2 as an upgrade to the K1. These two
units fill different rolls. For my
Thanks Mike,
Due to cost limitations (I have too many hobbies, too few dollars) I
find I'm usually running a very lean ship. One rig is about all I can
have, maybe 2 tops.
If I find the K1 is to my liking (menu-driven, QSK operation, sound of
receiver, RX performance, etc) I'll consider going

Based on what you say, I'd suggest you get the K2. You don't have any of the
needs for which the K1 is the better rig, and the $'s ain't that much

K1 = 359 = $90/band.
K2 = 599 = $75/band.
K2+K160RX = 638 = $71/bandg.

Hmmm, Now hold on there Ron :-)
I figure, the K1 and K2, both coming from Elecraft, will have a similar
operating feel. Small size, menu driven who knows what else. It will be
quite a shift from my big Omni V, right?
I used to have a Corsair II. Prior to that I had an Omni D. I now have
