I agree there are many fine commercial rigs out there, but there is nothing like building your own equipment. I just wish cost could be kept to a minimum, as a blue collar ham, it took me a while to save for the K2 and the KPA 100. I do not regret my purchase as the K2 is one of the best rigs that I have ever owned. I think I will be using it for a long time. >Eico 720 CW Novice Transmitter >BC-454 Arc Command 80 mtr Receiver > >Johnson Viking II Transmitter >National NC-300 Receiver > >Kenwood TS-820S >Kenwood TS-830S >Kenwood TS-930S > >Yaesu 1000MP Mark V 200 Watt > >Elecraft K2 w/KSB2,KAT2,KBT2 > >Enjoyed everyone one of these rigs.
