Petr, I agree, the K1 is also a great lttle rig! I built mine after very invasive shoulder surgery many years ago. Since I was in quite a bit of pain, on Vicodin around the clock--and forbidden from lifting heavy weights--I thought it would be a fun experiment to see if I could build a fully-optioned K1 while my faculties were so dimmed. I cheated a little, using toroids wound by TheToroidGuy. Success! And it still works FB. After seeing Heathkit HW-8s go for $1K+ on Ebay in the past, it is no surprise that K1s, KX1s, and eventually K2s can fetch big money. They're all fine performing radios to this day (not the HW-8). ----- Big congrats and I wish you many another DX and enjoyable QSOs with your K2. My K2 #4800 is working like champ, and it is hard to beat. Just my K1 can outperform K2 regarding the noise figure, hi. I hope that K2 will be still available and I really miss the K1 in the offer. The popularity of K1 is evidenced by the huge price it still commands if a piece appears at auction or for sale somewhere.
