So true, Robert!
My K2 got soaked in a giant rainstorm in Virginia a few Field

combo is probably fairly valuable. But so is nostalgia, which generally

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

Complex, multivariate problem Brian, sensitivity being only one
variable, and some of the variables are very subjective. I love my K2

a great multi-station FD rig and has nowhere near the capabilities of a

Brian,
depends on your use case - sensitivity is not the only spec you need (in
fact it could be an overkill to have -130 dBm). K3 with a better
synthesizer(you can upgrade K3 to have it) performs way better
with reciprocal mixing dynamic range - something which people want for
contesting. It is
