Steve and All,
A lot of contesters use software to control both VFOs and concurrently do a
lot of other things too, so a second knob is not really necessary. In
fact, the existing knob is not used either while under software
control. Writelog and N1MM Logger are two such programs, although I have
not used Writelog with the K2. I have used N1MM Logger and CAT control of
one K2 using SO2V (single operator 2 VFOs) and or 2 K2s using SO2R (single
operator 2 receivers) with both of my K2s. Works very well. This puts the
K2 clearly in the class with the Orion and 1000D, and you can buy two for
less than the price of either one. Don't misunderstand, you don't need two
K2 any more than you need two Orions, or two 1000Ds to operate the
transceivers two VFOs. You can download a copy of N1MM Logger by doing a
search of the Internet for N1MM. It is freeware.

Again, the only real competition are radios that cost many times more than
the K2 - Orion and IC7800.
And when the K2 evolves to a two knob true dual VFO/receive radio it will
rise to yet another notch.
