The K-2 has arrived! It sits atop my Icom 735. K-2 umber 6255 with all sorts of goodies: internal antenna tuner, RS232 serial port, and many more. Basically every extra but the 100 watt amp and the 60meter option. I built K-2 #250 the first year the kit became available. I had forgotten what a great radio it is. I am presently using a Tentec 701 hand mike but have an Elecraft/Heil MH2 on order. The rig requires an electret type microphone to drive it. The Tentec is doing an adequate job. While I really like the Elecraft K-1 you have to take off the top and insert various band modules to other bands. The beauty of the K-2 is that it has all of the frequencies you want on one board.
