For most CW work, the K2 is fine without either, in my experience. I got
the KAF2 to give me an extra edge in tough conditions, QRP, etc. but most

John neither is a valid response for some situations...it all depends on

I operate mostly CW using a K2/10 with neither option, can't imagine that
these would provide improved capability worth the added cost/complexity.
Had considered the KAF2 before constructing the K2 but after completion and
operation with the basic rig, decided to install a KSB2 instead.
In my opinion the KAF2 is essential. The always in-line low pass filter
significantly reduces the high frequency audio hiss and makes SSB in

Looking for a KAF2 for a friend (W9LR) who just picked up a K2 S# 529. I've
got some fixing to do to it for him and do the upgrades from A to B and the
such. If you have a KAF2 for sale built or unbuilt let me know via direct
email.

I am planning on purchasing a K2 for general use (SSB and CW) with a current
preference for CW. (I enjoy working on CW although I'm not very good.) My
preferences may change as my experience grows, so flexibility is important.
The question is, why would you want to have the KAF2 instead of

Howard,
I can't speak for anyone else, but I just don't like the sound of any audio
DSP processor, particularly for CW use. They are good for digging signals
out very close to the noise level, but my ears find the KAF2 far less
irritating for extended operating periods.
It is more a matter of
I bought my KAF2 before the KDSP2 was available. I have not upgraded to the
KDSP2 for the following reasons:
- it costs more
- it uses more current
- the KAF2 does a great job on CW
If you are a SSB op, and are going with a KPA100... then it would be a natural
progression to have a KDSP2 so that
I operate 99.99% CW (Haven't even fired up PSK in a year and it's been
longer than that since I plugged in the mic) and, not saying anything
negative about either the DSP or the audio filter, I don't have either and
don't feel motivated to add either to my K2/100.
I really like the sound of the

Cost, and for some issues the KAF2 will work as well as its
more expensive brother. Many guys have KAF2's sitting in their
desks that have been replaced by KDSP2's, and these are typically
available
In the CQ 160 CW contest this past winter we used my K2/100 (SN 850 A)with
the KDSP2.
No receive antenna (that's a whole story by itself!) and an Inverted-L with
a flock of radials.
Probably 80% of the time we ran with out any NR or DSP filters. If you
could put a dollar
amount on multipliers,
