Where have all the K2s Gone?

Raymond METZGER

K2 # 5,636 still live and used alternatively with my K3.
Mainly, but not necessarily, for portable operation at other locations.
Running two rigs is better and safer than only one.
The K2 offers also the pleasure of building, modifying and tweaking well
beyond what's the K3 offers !
Will never sell my K2 !

Raymond, F4FNT

I agree.  My loaded QRP K2 is the only rig I am sure I will keep for the rest of my days (just turned 50 this week, so I'm looking forward to quite many more to come...).

The reason it's the definite keeper:

- All-in-one, just like the Swiss army knife:  All bands and modes, int. battery, tuner, anything you wish.
- Small and portable
- Excellent performance
- Self-built, and therefore I can feel confident modifying and fixing when needed.

It has started to occur to me, however, how long the individual components for the K2 will be available in the years to come.  Perhaps I should start stockpiling as they run out of production...?
