I have a K2 and a K3 along with a Kenwood TS-590sg. I have used the
IC-7300.
If I was in your position I would buy the TS-590sg and RSP1 for the band
scope. I think the 590 is a better radio than the 7300, for about the
same $.
I love the K2, but the 590 (or 7300) is a better radio for general
Digitial mode use, and either will give you a band scope. The 590/RSP1
combination will give you a band scope on the computer that you can use
to click on and move the tuning, everything on one screen with a
keyboard and mouse!
There are many Utube videos on the 590/rsp1 bandscope combination.

So, background! I have just returned to the air after an 18 year hiatus
other than keeping my license up to date. What lured me back was retirement
and FT-8. For the past several days I have been operating with my Rev. A K2
(all options) built in 2001, a SignaLink USB interface, WSJT-X, MacLoggerDX
and JT-Bridge. Because I am "antenna challenged³ due to the HOA it has
become obvious that except in perfect conditions I could use a little more
horsepower. I¹m faced with a $1,170 bill to do the Rev. A/B mods, build the
Kat-100 and KPA-100 Š or Š $1,215 for an Icom 7300 and an LDG IT100 external
tuner. I¹d really appreciate thoughts from anyone who is knowledgeable on
both rigs. The Icom gives me a waterfall display and 6 meters Š WSJT-X gives
my K2 a waterfall display. It¹s a toss up in price but I can¹t help
wondering about the 20 year difference in technology.
Thanks, Randy - NB7E
