I'm sure there are many on this list looking for the same board... I've just acquired a second K3 and it's got the original boards too. Have been snooping around looking for the same board, but alas no luck. 73 Matthew VK5ZM On Mon, 4 Jul 2022 at 00:56, bob fctaz.com wrote: > Hello K3 user

I really enjoy my K2/100. I use it weekly for CWT’s, MST’s & SST’s with N1MM+. I usually operate the tests barefoot but sometimes run a KPA1500 with the K2. The shift/width controls are not as versatile as my K3S but I don’t need em for the 1 hr CW tests. Computer control of the K2 and K3s

Thanks, Andrew. If you've figured out how to remove the KPA100, I'm still looking. If you've got the KAT100 I'll take that, too. 73 Bill KN6UDK > On Jul 9, 2022, at 10:26 AM, Andrew Moore wrote: > > Hi Bill & list - > > I bought a K2 from someone on the list and it came with the KPA100,

Brian... The K2 is somewhat of a spiritual event. There are many - me included - who are very attached to their K2's, not because the specs are amazing - many modern radios perform better - but because we built them, got familiar with them, used them in memorable situations, and became fondly

Complex, multivariate problem Brian, sensitivity being only one variable, and some of the variables are very subjective.  I love my K2 and use it QRP, usually in the summer, for field activities.  It is not a great multi-station FD rig and has nowhere near the capabilities of a K3 in such an

Brian, depends on your use case - sensitivity is not the only spec you need (in fact it could be an overkill to have -130 dBm). K3 with a better synthesizer(you can upgrade K3 to have it) performs way better with reciprocal mixing dynamic range - something which people want for contesting. It is
