Hello Richard! good to hear your K2 is up and running.
I'm starting Assembly, Part III today (Friday). Perhaps by the end of the weekend will have the K2/100 going as well. I listened on 40m for the past couple of days and it does do very well in the noise. I find it more pleasant to listen to then my FT-1000D and Orion II. I was hoping for that. Have fun with the K2!
