Gang,
My K2 s/n 4896 is alive and kicking! The assembly went flawless and
the alignment was a piece of cake (yes, indeed), MUCH easier than
aligning the K1! I finished the rig as a "evening-project" while I´m
at work in Sweden (and QRV as SM/LA2MOA), and the first CW QSO was
with LA9M/P on EU056 on 30 meters.
The transmitter gives 15 watts as stated in the specs and the
receiver is AWESOME! It´s just soooo quiet! No white noise what so
ever, and the filters are knife sharp!
I have no options ordered for this one yet, but will use it for a
while and then decide what options I need. Right now, the plain K2 is
running in cirkles (or more like "figure eight´s") around anything I
have been using before, including a number of Kenwoods, Icom´s and
Yaesu´s. Even my Argonaut II is outperformed by this beauty! This is
really exciting!
What a wonderful rig, thank´s Elecraft!
