The K2's main qualities are small size, low weight and low power consumption which make it an ideal portable radio. It is superior in many respects to the many small mobile/portable rigs like the IC706 series, FT-897 etc. that many hams on a budget use as base stations, which performance limitations in many respects worse than the K2. For many years at the start of this decade people used to say what a great receiver the K2 had. I don't think the phase noise limitations, whatever they are, are such a big deal for most prospective users. For those it does matter to, there is the K3.
