Hi, I have (2) K2 rigs and would like to sell one of them to finance
some additions. I have not been watching current values so I simply
printed the parts lists from Elecraft. I know these are new inflated
prices and only include for some idea of new parts cost for these
radios. Please
Guys, come on - the real answer? Because they are less than half the
cost of an IC-7800 and outperform that radio also!
So if anyone who has two K2s is feeling guilty about it at this point,
then follow these directions:
Find a nice box, well padded.
Place the extra K2 and its accessories

1) If you are into contesting, you'd need a second K2 to run SO2R
(Single Operator 2 Radios)
2) You need one for the shack, and one for the moble / RV / summer home
3) You need a spare
2 K2s come in handy as bookends for all of your amateur radio literature!
It just does not look right to hold your books up with one if them and a
KX1 is just not heavy enough to do the job. The 100 watt amps give the
rigs enough heft to handle a goodly number of tomes.

David,
I've been an SO2R operator for several years with a pair of IC-765s and
completely agree with other's SO2R sentiments. I sold those 765s with the
idea of replacing them with the much better receiver specs in 2 K2/100s. I
just built my first K2 (#4687) and gave it a good work out in the

OK, how about listening to 50.125 with the Elecraft transvertor while
on the low bands?
My wife (W8IIE) gave me my first K2 as a consolation prize for turning
50. I pointed out to here last week that I am turning 52

David,
Everyone has to do their own justification for the dollars spent, and the
reasons one would want a second K2 are quite varied. I have 2 so I can play
with one on the workbench and use the other one - but there are many times
both are operating to perfection, I just like to tinker.

I know that elecraft would be happy if we each owned two but is there any
good reasons for having two?
after all I have to justify spending that money
Actually, it appears you need 3 more K2's to replace those other rigs ;)

Put one under each of the front legs of your chair to allow you to recline
while operating your third K2? :-)
