I think it is mainly that the darn rig is a lot more fun than any
appliance I ever used - including the Century 21, which I had a heck
of a lot of fun with back in 1985, and I think is probably the best
radio I ever owned up until I got the K2. To me the K2 is just a very
simple rig to operate, just like the Century 21 was. Not a lot of
knobs to fiddle with, so I end up just concentrating on enjoying the
QSO.
It's simple, easy to fix, and I put it together - that makes a lot of
difference too.
And please don't mention Formula 1 to me ever again! Some of us have
a reallly bad taste in our mouths over that right now! :)

Hello fellow Elecraft addicts -
I've been using my Icom 706 a lot lately while I build the amp for
my K2. As an 18- 20wpm cw novice I seem to have FAR more
difficulty SENDING cw on the 706 then I do on the K2. I could swear
it's not my imagination. After 30min on the 706 - a switch over to
sending on the K2 makes it feel like I just "jumped into a Formula
I from an old truck." Are there factors that make one radio far
easier to send cw with than another or is it just my imagination?
If so - what are the factors that affect how sending cw "feels"?
Thanks folks.
