I sold an IC-756PRO II. I bought an FT-817 when it came out, to save
disconnecting the K2 if I wanted to use it portable, but I eventually
sold it as I didn't use it much. Later, as the price had dropped a
lot, I bought another FT-817ND. Now that the K2 will soon be reduced
to secondary rig status
When I got my K2, there were several rigs that were sold. I'm a one-rig
kind of guy. I use them one at a time. If it doesn't work I don't use
it and if I don't use it, I sell it. I don't have enough $ to tie it up
in unused rigs. Bottom line is that I keep only the best of what I
have.
I posted this yesterday but, it didn't show up. Here goes again. I sold my
Argonaut V to get a K2. I like the K2 much better than the Argonaut V. To
me, the crystal filtering is much cleaner to listen too. The Argo had DSP
filtering but, it sounded muddy to me. I didn't like the meter on

Hi all,
I know that some of you have sold (or are planning to sell) your K2 in
favor of the new K3, but I was wondering if you have sold other radios
in favor of a K2 in the past.
I have not.
I have an IC-735 (1980s 100w HF radio), a FT-817 (QRP HF radio), and a
few
I did not sell anything to get my K2, but sold the 756 pro after
I got the K2, since the performance was so much better on the K2.
I did not sell the K2 to get the K3, but sold it because
I ran into a bunch of car bills, and the K3 will get here whenever.
I would not hesitate to sell almost any
The only reason I keep my TS 850 SAT is because no one will give me all
that much for it. For the few bucks return I can leave it on the bench
and look at it.
What can you say, after the Elecraft gear came out it made all the
others less valuable.
Wish I could get half what I paid for it.
