Hi Keith and all,
When I got my K2 (#402) built I guess in about 1999, it was only a curiosity
and sat next to my TS850 for about a year. I finally started doing some A/B
tests and soon after, the TS850 was the radio that was collecting dust. Had
somewhat of a financial adjustment a couple of years ago, and sold all of my
ham gear.... except the K2. Then when I got some cash I upgraded it and put
in the amp, tuner, and dsp.
I don't miss the TS850 or the other rigs I sold too much. I think that if I
had sold the K2 I would have kicked myself later on. If you like any rig a
lot I would say don't sell it to get another rig, because if it is really
good you will miss it. It is better to get the new radio and then use both
rigs awhile. Then because of the comparison you can decide later if the old
rig is worth keeping.
When I get a K3, my K2 will be for portable use. I may sell some of the
options but never the base K2. I think finding some of the lower serial
number K2s for sale is a rarity. Sort of like that Collins S line, or Drake
C line. ;>). Come to think of it, now that the K3 is out, the K2 is sorta
"vintage".
Regards,
Steve, W2MY
