using K2 in ARES

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Group,

I would like to enquire any of you has the experience using K2 in ARES.

QRP K2 is handy and with minimal current consumption.  With KAT2, a HF portable station can be set up right the way with a piece of random wire.

By replacing the lead acid battery with 3300mAH Li-ion cells, the weight of K2 will be much reduced.

Do I miss anything in considering using K2 as a ARES HF rig?

Your comments and advice are much appreciated.

Johnny,

I regularly use my K2/100/KAT100 in ARES and RACES.  I even have
Winlink2000 capability.  Works fine.
