Hi Larry,
May I recommend that if you add a linear amp. that you go for the
Elecraft KPA100 , it's a very well engineered unit and positively works
beautifully with the K2. 100 wats is all you need, believe me. Put your
money into a good antenna.
I use a Cushcraft A3S Tribander @ 75 ft.for 20, 15, & 10 and a G5RV for
other bands (75, 40, & 17 mtrs.)
I have a Drake L-4B linear but haven't used it for years, it's just not
necessary.
As for options I would get the KSB2, KAT100 and the KNB2 (only if you
have a real noise problem). The KPA100 includes the RS-232 option. If
you opt to not add the KPA100 & KAT100 be sure to include the low power
antenna tuner KAT2, it's amazing what it will match. I would not get the
DSP option until you build and evaluate the basic K2 first. I do not
have it and doubt if it would be necessary. The basic filters in the K2
are that good. Configre the SSB filters for 2.2 kc. bandwidth.
Just my two cents worth of advise. Good luck.
Bob, VE3XM
