You forget that some people will buy a K2 because it's the only option out there for someone who wants to experience building and testing a radio from discrete parts. That's the reason I chose a K2 over a ready-built radio that cost the same, or even less.

The market for those who want a low power consumption rig must be close to saturated, or at least will be if lots of K2s hit the market in anticipation of their owners moving up to a K3. To me, the K2/100 seems doomed as the price differential, as you point out, needless to mention the value, is clearly in the favor of the K3. And the big advantage of the K2, low power consumption, doesn't really come into play with these QRO rigs. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
