And a good thing. This past weekend two of us went to a undisclosed location in the Sierras to check out our FD QTH for next year. Although I wouldn't give up my K3 for anything, there is no comparison to the K2 for this application. The combination of QRP-configured K2 plus Asus netbook was tested last year in a not-so-great location, but we ran the whole period on batteries and solar panel. The K2 is by far the winner if you are looking for high performance with low power consumption. By the way, the secret location is a killer. With 15 watts to a 40 meter loop with apex at 30', our first QSO was a 5N (Nigeria). That's on 40 meters at 4 PM local time! And our antennas are going to be much, much better. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
