Hi all. I also agree with David. Building the K2 kit is what I was looking for the most. It is FUN to build. It has all the features I need and am going to use. While I am building the kit I do learn some stuff but if I make a mistake and have to fix and test parts, that is when I learn a lot IMHO. I build the K1 a little while back and the build was awesome but the learning part for me was also the setup as stated by others. As far as life span goes. There are many, many older rigs out there with tubes and such that are still in use and probably will be for many years to come. As far as the K2 goes, if it has the features on it that I need, and it keeps on working. I'll use it for life. I believe it is selling good so they should be selling the K2 for quite some time I would imagine. I have only been licensed for about 3 years but an enthusiasts for some time now and the reasons I just stated is why I went with the K2 myself. I believe The K2 has a very nice life span left and I hope to use it till I am old and gray :-) Actually the gray has started two years ago! I also love when I show off my kits that I build to family, friends and hams. They are all so amazed that I could build something like the K1 and the many other kits that I have built and they all work properly. I hope to soon finish the K2 and amaze them with that awesome little rig too. Just my two cents.
