Hello Phil,
Very well respected and I did read similar favorable comments about KDSP2 like
yours in the past. The best part of this mail listing is that we are used to
agree to 'disagree'.
My K2 was gone some time and replaced by K3 and KX3. Now, I am keeping a close
eye on the Icom new IC7610 SDR which I saw in Tokyo ham fair 2016.

Au Contraire in my case, Johnny. I've found the
KDSP2 to be very effective and still use my K2/100
in my secondary operating location as my QRO rig.
The issue with the KDSP2 is getting the settings
right. That was tricky and probably took me a year
or two of experimentation. But now it works very
well for me and I find the NR very effective.
