Unless you are willing to spend more than double that, or find a great bargain, you will be hard pressed to find anything better than the K2 IMHO. I have a Kenwood TS2000 for xbanding vhf/uhf and back up, but prefer the K2. If you have the DSP unit, etc., that to me does it all. I am building a 2nd K2 which will haved the KPA100,etc. My original is a fully equipped QRP portable radio.
Bill K9YEQ -----Original Message-----: [Elecraft] K2 compared to others rigs Now that I've been using my K2 serial # 5719 for a while, I am a bit disappointed in my Ten-Tec Jupiter, particularly when there are strong CW signals on adjacent frequencies. I was always a Ten-Tec fan and loved my Corsair II, but wanted to try a newer design radio. Now, I'm thinking of selling or trading the Jupiter, but I wonder what's out there in the $1200 to $1500 range (new or used) that might be a step up from the Jupiter in receiver performance. Without opening up a can of worms, I'd like to hear some feedback on the IC 746 Pro, Ten-Tec Omni VI, TS-2000 or any others I may have over-looked. What else are you guys using? Thanks for this great resource. It's been a great help in getting to know my K2.
