I've had two K2's. The first one was one of the "original 100" K2's which
were field test units. After several years I sold that to a ham locally who
wanted a good QRP rig, but in the meantime I had picked up my 2nd K2, so
I've been K2 equipped since the beginning.
For years the K2 was my "go to" field radio. For a good while it was my
main station radio. Both of mine were QRP versions, so it wasn't until I
got a K3 that I had a 100 watt Elecraft radio. I greatly value the
experience I had building my K2, and even today, the K2 is a darned good
radio! No, it doesn't have some of the bells and whistles you may want, but
it is most definitely a very competent radio!
I thought I might sell my K2 when the KX3 came out, but it didn't happen.
The K2 is just too good, and makes a perfect backup radio. Besides, it is
still great fun to pull it down and just use it for awhile.
I always put the K2 at the head of my list when I talk to someone looking
for " a real ham radio experience"! You get a superb building opportunity,
and you end up with a radio that will do just about anything you want. It
is not a compromise.
Just another example of Wayne's design expertise!
