Curt, I have 2 K2s and both have the KSB2 option. First, Installing the SSB option and aligning it correctly doesn't reduce the K2's effectiveness in the CW mode, in fact it inhances it. Second, This option opens the door to digital, SSB and sstv communications.
If your K2 is stock CW then you have to remove the front panel to install the mic circuit components which is a pain but easily done. You will be glad you install this option (even if you don't use SSB). 73 Dave KD1NACompleted K2 s/n 6424 a few months back, am thinking of adding a KSB2 adapter kit I own. I've seen several threads indicating that the SSB performance of the K2 with the adapter isn't very good. Would adding this capability be worthwhile, or is leaving the K2 as CW only a better option? 73, Curt KB5JO
