I wish you all would stop talking about how much fun it is to build a
K2! It makes we want to order one or two! But I'm trying to save up my
pennies for when the K4 comes out in kit form. And I'm still not tired
of my trusty KX3, yet!

I've built 5 K2s. The last one is a keeper. I built several for other
people. I still get a kick out of turning it on and making contacts
with a "kit" radio. Mine is a 100 watts, ssb adapter and the outboard
tuner. Wired for a Kenwood hand mike. I often think that if it was the
only rig I owned I would be completely satisfied. Receiver sounds
great and I get great audio reports. If anyone has ever considered
building one - go for it. The satisfaction of turning it on and making
contacts with something you put some serious time in to build is an
experience I highly recommend. I don't know if I've ever operated a
better cw transceiver. And even in a crowded band on 20, it can hold
its own. I love it.

I'm 20 years late to the game but I finally built a K2. What a
satisfying
project to build, and a delightful rig to operate. It doesn't have
all the
performance and features of my fully-updated K3, but it's a great little
radio nonetheless.
I finished the final alignment and test Tuesday and have used it a
couple
evenings now.
Now to build the SSB adapter and the 100 W amp.
