Frank,
I have had a few full break in rigs in the distant past, and back then,
I was disappointed; for the last 30 years most of my operating has been
semi-break in, and now with the K2, full break in, and I find I really
love it; it is a real pleasure to use - for example, in the recent IARU
contest, I operated a single op, CW QRP entry; I could hear when someone
was stepping on me, I could notice when the station I was calling didn't
hear me and started another CQ, and so on. In fact, I am coming to the
opinion its more like talking on the phone in the ability to interrupt
and be interrupted, if both sides of the QSO are using it.
I think you will like it a lot, and if not, I imagine you might be able
to set the delay long enough to not do it (I am not really sure because
I have not tried it, since I like it as is.
And, I am sure you will like the rig; I think its receiver is about as
good as my IC-7800, for a lot less money.
I liked mine so much, I recently bought a KX1 (more on that in another post.

I'm considering ordering a K2/100 transceiver and I'm concerned about the lack
of a front panel MOX or SEND button . I've read alot of the posts on the
reflector concerning the issue. I have used full-break in in the past but not
on a regular basis. Is there anyone that is using the K2 that previously has
had little experience with full break-in and now finds that this method is
totally satisfactory and does not miss the SEND button or at least
semi-break-in? The rig sure looks great but I'm in a quandary about this
feature.
