Hi Fred,
One word of advice on building your K2: Take your time and savor
every moment of the build. It was by far my best building experience.
Good luck es have fun,
Tom, WB2QDG

My K2 # 136 ~ a birthday present @ Hamvention in 1999 ~ was partially
assembled that Spring; interrupted by a tenting vacation from Michigan
to Seattle, and finished in the Fall. Over the years I have enjoyed its
operation and brought it to clubs and hamfests for "show & tell"

John, I definitely agree. I also have their 8300mAh pack, and it has enough
amperage to power the KX3 *and* the PX3. And has a 9v and a 5v USB socket
on it, too. There's a bigger one, but I'd rather step up to a LiFePO4
battery, a much bigger one, that I can put in a battery box with a
PowerPole
Yep, I use the 6000 mAh battery on my K2 and the 3500 mAh on my K1 (s/n 52).
Both batteries work great!

I'm looking over on a rack at our K2, serial #1641. My partner Maggie K3XS
and I built it many many moons ago. It's still kickin' to this day, though
the battery pack bit the big one a few years ago. But it works just fine
from a Talentcell battery pack I got from Amazon, it just has to be kept
I just got one from Santa...serial number 7923. I'm loving building it. It
will take sometime to build since I'm so busy during the week. But once its
built, I'm going to start getting all the add-ons, the 100 Watt
amp...antenna tuner...SSB...and the rest! What a joy! There is not another
kit
You're killin' me! I just dropped a big stack-o-cash on finishing off
my K3s/P3... And I am in the process of building a 10 Gbit network for
the house and adding DC power centers in three separte locations in the
house to wipe out the SMPS "problem".
The XYL will kill me if she sees one more
Break the piggy bank, take out a loan, sell the kids, just do what it
takes. I did back in 2017 and built 7723 while I was working in the
desert. It has SSB, NB, 160 and RS232 options and was a lot of fun
considering it works as well, if not better, than a lot of other radios.
The KX series
Wish I could afford to buy one while they are still available I
would like to say that I had the experience of doing s solder build...

Hard to believe 20 years have gone by since I built my K2. Well, I think it's
been close to 20 years. I have S/N 586. In any event, I put it on air today.
Somehow it got buried behind a flurry of other late model rigs. What a pleasure
to listen to the K2 receiver; signals come in like there's a
