Gary,
QRP SSB contacts can be plentiful, so just put the SSB option in - you
can also run soundcard digital modes if you want.
I usually stay away from the 80 meter roundtables where everyone is
bragging about how much power they are running - you will just not move
their S-meters up into the 40 over mark and those folks will frown on
anyone who does not do that.

I was just wondering how many here use SSB with their 15 watt K2? Does
it meet your expectations?
The reason I am asking is because, I have the SSB board ready to
install. I have been using the basic K2 the last few days in CW mode
and I really like it since I work mostly CW. I have a Kenwood TS-530SP
that works great on SSB so, I'm trying to decide if it's really worth
installing the SSB option. So, I'm trying to gather as many opinions as
possible so that I can sit and torture myself further. :-) I did own an
Argonaut V for about eight months. It would put out about 20 watts
which made SSB a bit more of a challenge. Since I have the Kenwood that
will put out 170 watts, believe it or not, I'm thinking that I would
probably not use the SSB option unless it's for QRP SSB.
Your opinions are welcome. I should mention that I'm not planning to
add the 100 watt amp to the K2. If I'm going to do that, I'll just buy
a K3! I also work a lot of QRP CW.
