K2 #5428 Finally Hits the Airwaves!

Ken Alexander-2
After sitting ignored for over a month after being
completed, K2 #5428 has finally seen the business end
of an antenna feedline!

QSO #1 - OK7FL, Vasek.  RST 539, 20m at 1658Z
QSO #2 - UT5UIA, Serge.  RST 559, 20m at 1925Z

I was portable VE9 at the time and both contacts were
with a 20m vertical running 8 - 10 watts.

I'm still learning a lot about the K2's features as I
go along and I have to say I'm mightily impressed!

Only one thing I don't love:  The AF and RF Gain,
Speed and Power controls are too close together.  I'd
consider spacing them farther apart or even putting AF
and RF gain on one side of the tuning knob and Speed
and Power on the other side.

73 for now,

Ken Alexander
