        I would like to ask a question. If you were buying a k2, what would
be the basic options you could not do without when buying the kit? Like
everyone, I am on a set budget but have enough for the rig plus a little
more. Wanted to get the most bang for the buck and also get the options that
are really needed right out of the gate.

You really need none, the K2 is a usable rig on its own. Of course
many hams, myself included, like additional features. :-)

It depends on how you plan to operate. If you want a QRP in the field
radio then the basic model, perhaps with the built-in antenna tuner
(KAT2) is likely all you need/want. If you want a more of a contest
radio then KPA100 power amplifier, KNB2 noise blanker, KDSP2 DSP,
KAT100 ext. tuner, and if you want the KSB2 SSB module might be the
what we want.

Personally, K2 with KPA100, KSB2, and KNB2 would be my first add-ons.
