While I enjoy having a factory-built rig sitting here, the joy of building and
operating a rig is literally 'historic' and very gratifying. By the time I was
of employment age, Heath was nearly gone. After assembling a few kits it was
time to 'pounce.' The K2 has been a fun adventure - I enjoyed it for years
before adding the QRO option. I confess that my 2000-series K2 does have a
bunch of required jumpers and cut traces - but that is part of the adventure.
As for contesting, I really like its clear clean receive audio and the very
fast
ATU (used for tuning my low band verticals primarily).
Except for not having 6m 'affordably', the K2 is a nifty rig. As many of us
cannot 'afford one of each' from the Elecraft line, I suggest listing your own
rig requirements to determine which one best fits your interests - literally
which one you would use the most.
