Thanks to you and all who have replied. Due to Elecraft's modular design I
could always buy this later - but for $219 I would probably buy at the same
time.
[1] Does the DSP2 add significant extra current drain in RX? This is an
important criteria as I'll be using batteries / solar cells and will have up
to 6 AH of battery with me (2 x 3AH).
[2] Would the T1 be OK with the basic K2 (I assume so)?
Hope to have K1 finished late next week so K2 would be a Christmas / New
Year project.
I will look for extra / larger batteries at Friedrichshafen 2006 but my 2 x
Ni-MH 3 AH are very good and light. I would like to be able to use my IC-703
portable but it requires up to 600 mA on receive.

Hello Simon
I think the KDSP2 is beneficial under all conditions.
It provides three features, any one of which can be important
at a given moment.
The most obvious one is audio filtering, supplementing the
internal crystal filter.
The next obvious feature is Noise Reduction, not necessarily
a problem in the field, but it could be.
The final feature, not always recognized, is a small amount
of additional audio gain when DSP is engaged. It is set
during the setup process, and can compensate for audio level
lost in narrower bandwidths.
I have my KDSP2 engaged when I'm out on our annual ARRL Field
Day every year.
