Hello Richard!
good to hear your K2 is up and running.
I'm starting Assembly, Part III today (Friday).
Perhaps by the end of the weekend will have the K2/100
going as well.
I listened on 40m for the past couple of days and it
does do very well in the noise. I find it more
pleasant to listen to then my FT-1000D and Orion II. I
was hoping for that.
Have fun with the K2!
Ken, KA0W
