I think this is a good response and I agree with the list of options but not
sure about the NB. Is anyone having good success with the NB in a fixed
location ?
I am on my second K2. First was in the 3800 SN range and this one is near
4400. I thought maybe something was wrong with the first one as it did not
even change the audio tone or anything. The second one is the same way. I
was assuming that maybe if I had sparkplug noise in a mobile environment, it
would help, but if I was going to build K2 #3 it would NOT have buy the NB.
I really miss the NB and NR on my Pegasus.
Anyone else have better results?

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
