Hi Frank, I have an early unmodified K2 #402 and it is gangbusters on 5W CW with one of the unmodifieed early KSB2s. I would not change a thing on mine as the performance is so good, but with the filter improvements on the newer KSB2s I think you should just get the K2 and the KSB2 as far as filtering goes. Forget the audio filter for now, and maybe consider the DSP far into the future.
I do have the KAT2 and its is wonderful. Using the K2/KSB2/KAT2 with a 40 meter dipole about 12 feet average off of ground and a manual tuner I have gotten 29 out of 32 Foxes this season in the Foxhunts. Most of the contacts were 329-229, something I could not have managed with other (some expensive) radios I have used. What I do is tune the antenna with the MFJ tuner until it is close and then use the KAT2 for perfect SWR. I should probably try the KAT2 alone as this may work even better.
