Actually it might be more like saying "The MFJ antenna analyzer cannot be
used in strong RF fields and other analyzers that I have used cannot be used
in strong RF fields so I wouldn't recommend buying an antenna analyzer to
check a Field Day dipole attached to the tower of a 50KW broadcast station."
I'm saying that ANY DSP radio Ten-Tec, Yaesu or Elecraft with RF or AF
processing requires bandwidth to process the signal and throw away the
noise. Once you get a bandwidth under 200Hz the DSP code has little to work
with to improve copy and can actually degrade the signal by adding
artifacts. Compare the KDSP2 to the KAF2 at 200Hz in a thunderstorm and
then tell me which you prefer.
Since you did not say what mode you intend to operate nor what bandwith you
prefer I could only state my experience from my operating conditions.
If you operated narrow bandwidth (under 200Hz) CW I suspect you would not
feel the KDSP2 was worth the added expense.

To me that's like saying "The MFJ antenna analyzer has given me nothing
but trouble therefore I won't buy ANY antenna analyzer".
I won't go into what company I think is gradually buying Ten-Tec as their
founders die off...... Alex.

It depends on how you operate Alexander. My experience with the
Ten-Tec Orion's DSP as well as external audio DSP's on the K2 convinced
me not to buy the KDSP2 option for the K2.Tom K2TA
