although I have a better-performing K3, I'd never give it up.
Look forward to the sad day when I actually finish the K2, I am planning
my next project. While the K3 looks like a much less challenging project,
I am intrigued. In what sense does the K3

Paul,
I see you got some good answers but just wanted to add some of my
experience. If you are interested in building a kit you can not beat the
K2. K3 is a great radio but is not really a kit. The K2 you build starting
from a box of parts. One of the greatest things about the K2 kit is

As far as the reflector, some of us urged Elecraft to separate the K2 and
K3 lists in some way, but they have opted not to do so. As a result, this
is not the resource it used to be for a K2 owner. You can still get ALL
your questions

I have owned a K2 for about three years now. It replaced an FT990. Is is
fully loaded [NB, SSB, DSP AMP].
I'm not an expert on state of the art, but do have some subjective
comments. It's a great little rig. I'm completely pleased with it. I
bought it specifically for its performance

Paul,
I do not believe Elecraft will discontinue the K2 nor its options for
some long time to come. Yes, the K2 is over 10 years old, but still
going strong. It is a 'mature' product, which means that there will not
likely be additional updates for it down the road. You can feel safe
