Just to say, that 7723 is alive and kicking albeit in a bare bones QRP CW only format for the time being. I bought this as a way to pass a little time stuck out in the desert and it did the job superbly.

Initial testing went well though I am a little concerned that the 20m sensitivity is a little down, might just need a more careful alignment of the bpf. I also need to do a proper setup of the IF filters with the pc.

Back home now and on some antennas it seems to be playing nicely.

The SSB module, 160m, NB and I/O kits are on hand and will join the family soon.

Interesting to note the K2 was, according to Wikipedia, prototyped in October 1997, so that radio is 20 years old and still being produced and more importantly I think is still relevant. Has that bettered the Collins S line?

So one of the very latest K2's joins one of the earliest K3's S/N 298. Now I'm starting to think that might need some updating but I'm not sure if there have been any major upgrades to the K3, barring the synthesiser and the S of course.
