Matthew,
The SSB option is also useful for PSK31 and other digital modes, and
wouldn't require the KPA100 amplifier. As a Technician, you might be
interested in http://wa5znu.org/psk31 if you haven't already read about
digital modes. It is a handout I did for out Field Day "get on the air"
station a couple of years ago.

At a minimum you need the SSB option unless you plan to operate only

If you're going to operate SSB you should consider the KPA100. QRP
phone is
not impossible or unheard of, but it's not as easy as CW.
I like the antenna tuner, but that's optional depending on your antenna
situation.
Beyond that, everything is optional.

Subject: [Elecraft] Suggestions for newbie HF Operator
Good evening all,
I am currently looking into buying an Elecraft K2 for my first HF
Radio.
My question is this; what configuration is the best to start out with
for a Technician Class Ham like myself? Obviously, I feel confident
enough in my ability to build it, or I would be spending the money on a
commercially assembled radio. I also have downloaded all the manuals
and
looked through them to get a general idea of what tools are needed to
build the various assemblies.
