Hi Dale,
I'm thinking about giving the K2 a try and I'm also interested in the external
amp for it. I noticed that some here have talked about that. It would be
nice to have a QRP rig and a separate amp. Does Elecraft sell the amp as a
stand alone or do you have to build it into the rig?
Well, my GAP Challenger came down with the wind several month ago. It snapped
off at the base. I had it in a tilt mount. So, I cut the antenna in half and
made a couple of quarter wave ground plane verticals out of it. They work
better than any vertical I have ever had. I managed to work some DX a couple
of weeks ago when the band conditions were good.
I'm glad to hear that the K2 reciever is out of this world. Maybe we'll be
the first to work Mars when one finally makes it there! Hi! I'm getting
excited about getting one. I need to buy a good soldering station and DMM
before I do. It should be a fun project.

Hi Gary,
Been here and there, Lucent/Avaya, then Sprint, then/now at the base taking
care of their radios. Pretty much the same position that I had when I moved
to Cheyenne before WyDOT. Odd how things go around like that.
Yes, I have a K2, and also some of the Steve Weber rigs, the AT series, all
but the last one. Seems the K2 has a rx that just is out of this world.
Compared to the Icom 761, it does noticeable better, in crowded, noisy, or
busy conditions. I have a mic with mine, but seldom use it. You shouldn't
have any trouble with it at all. Don Wilhelm is excellent with the
assistance.
How've you been? Are the antennas stayin up with all this nice ice and
wind? --... ...-- Dale - WC7S in Wy
