Jim - I’ve owned both rigs. The K2 was a very nice radio, but IMHO, the KX3 blows it away. Your options are far more extensive. If you do want to operate SSB or digital some time in the future - it is built in right from the get-go; no additional boards to install and mess with. Want a band display / pan-adapter? Simple to use with the free NaP3 software on Windows, or with the plug and play PX3. I sold my K2 about six or seven years ago to finance the purchase of a K3. I subsequently added a KX3/PX3 to my station and while I did enjoy that K2, this KX3/PX3 combination is a much better option - for me anyway!
I use my KX3 about 99% for CW, although I have made several SSB, PSK31, and JT65 contacts with it. Jim / W6JHB Folsom, CA > On Saturday, Jan 23, 2016, at Saturday, 8:50 AM, J.
