K2 Filters

[jim-74]

I would like to know if adding a DSP unit to the K2 will make the KAF2 audio filter  obsolete, or if they are used together ?

Also I am curious what others think about the following, starting out with a K2, which do you think you would add next , the DSP unit or the 100 W option ?

Just got my hands on a new K2 so building should start some time in the next few weeks.

Thanks,

Jim

Jim,

The KDSP2 and the KAT2 occupy the same mounting position in the K2, so they
are mutually exclusive options - don't order both.

Whether you add the KPA100 option or the KDSP2 first is an individual
decision and should be based only on your operating needs.  There are no K2
dependencies between the two.

For a QRPer, adding a DSP would be like a small religious experience. Adding
a K100 would be like converting to Satanism.

DSP replaces AF.

If I read you right, your interest is in CW and not SSB, since you don't
mention the KSB2 option. This is similar to my interests.

I got my K2 up and running 2 months after I was licensed in 2001. It has
taken me 3.5 years to upgrade to the KPA100 which I finished this winter,
and the KAT100 which I finished this month. I had lots of fun with the basic
QRP version, but then of course sun spots were more favorable some years
ago.

My impression from this list is that the KDSP2 is more useful for SSB than
CW, altough opinions vary. I am still happy with the KAF2 and I don't have
any plans to upgrade to a KDSP2 yet.

I haven't used a KAF2, but the noise reduction function of the KDSP2 on
CW is fantastic.
