K2 build planned...

Lloyd Lachow
   I knew it would happen one day. The way it went
was: I agreed to build a KAT2 for a friend, and she
shipped her K2 to me for installation. Once I got it,
turned it on, pushed a few buttons, opened it up...I
was a goner. So my new K2 will be on its way soon.

   The serial number, I think, is #4442. What, if any,
changes or mods should I be aware of?

   I'll not be using the rig for SSB, only CW, and I'm
wondering what's the consensus on the performance of
the KAF2? I'm getting one with the rig, and DSP is not
affordable right now, so I'm wondering if I want to
install the AF.

   Once they arrive, I'll have for sale a K60XV, KIO2,
KNB2 and a KSB2...I'll pay shipping, price will be
list. I'd consider a trade for a K160RX.

   And - where can I find a nice plug for the mic jack
opening? 8^D

  Thanks!

  LL, K3ESE

Howdy Lloyd,
    I use AFIL most of the time.  One of these days I am going to change
the board to start in AFIL 2 since that is the one which works best for
me.  Seems to make the signal pop out of the noise so copy gets much
easier.  Makes the foxes much easier to catch and those folks out on the
East Coast just a little better for the net :)  For the price I think it
works very, very well.  The DSP module is WAY out of my budget too.  Stick
with the audio filter and you will be fine.
    Take care,
        Kevin.  KD5ONS
