Hi:
I am considering obtaining a K2. My primary operating modes are CW and RTTY. Furthermore, I envision I will be using the K2 a lot for portable operation (family/business travels), but also some for contesting (again, CW and RTTY). What options do you current owners feel most valuable and I should take with the rig? To keep things simple at this point, assume that I am only interested in QRP operation for the above. 73 de Kristinn, TF3KX _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

My K2 has the NB, ATU, 160m and DSP options. I use it in every contest that I'm interested in. The NB will help with pulse-type noises, which can occur almost anywhere you go. The ATU is the slickest piece of engineering in the Elecraft stable, and can match darn near anything you can use for an antenna. Whether you are interested in 160m or not, having the second receiver input has been a big help to me. I have a low-noise Flag receiving loop for 160m, but I use it on 80, 40 and 30m as well. The second receiver input port is needed to do this. The DSP provides two benefits. The noise reduction feature really works. The DSP audio filter feature supplements the K2 crystal filter nicely and increases the overall selectivity. Good luck and 73 Bob N6WG -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]]On Behalf Of Kristinn Andersen Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 4:15 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: [Elecraft] Suggested options with K2?
