I've had my K2 for 10+ years and use it for Field Days, trips up the
hill to visit the kids, and any other portable events. It is always up
to the task in every respect. I wouldn't think of selling it. The K3
line is wonderful, and I'm fortunate to be housing the three of them.
But, the K2 remains the patriarch of the bunch.

I have a 12-13 year old K2/100 that doesn't get use much any more except at
occasional vacation rentals. I keep thinking it's time to sell it. In
June, I sent it to Don Wilhelm to "tweak and peak" it. It came back from
Don with a new alignment and a clean bill of health.
Right now I have my K3 in pieces to do various upgrades, i.e., more filters
and several "K3s upgrades." So the K2 is back in line plugged into my
KPA-500 and KAT500 tuner.
What a great little radio the K2 is! Sounds great, adequate filtering, and
drives the KPA500 to full power with about 20-watts from the K2. I know
there have been tons of technical improvements found in radios such as the
K3 series and the KX3 (not to mention some other brands), but it is amazing
how competent the K2 is. There is no way it can be considered obsolete. I
think it going to stay in my shack for a lot longer!
