I'm thinking of building a K2. My thought is that I eventually want a K2 w/
100 watts and SSB, but I'd like to take it in stages by first building a K2,
then upping it to 100 watts, and then finally adding SSB.
More specifically, I thought I'd do the following:
1. Order the K2 and a KAT100 this week (I figure the KAT100 rather than the
KAT2 given my intention of eventually moving up to 100 watts). I expect that
I'll also add the KNB2 at this point since things can be pretty noisy at my QTH.
2. Add the KDSP2 later this year (Nov/Dec) once I get some familiarity with the
K2 itself.
3. Add the KPA100 around April 2009, which should be just in time for me to
work with it a little before Field Day 2009.
4. Add the KSB2 at some later date (probably sometime in the first half of
2010).
For those who have done something like this -- or at least thought about it --
are there any significant gotcha's that you think I should know about? Is
adding the KPA100 or the KSB2 very difficult and would you strongly argue
against adding later versus build now? Should I switch the sequence (e.g., SSB
first, then 100 watts)?
Thanks in advance for your input.
