I think it's kind of an apples and oranges comparison. Besides
the obvious difference of kit vs wired units, the Argonaut V
offers 20 watts, many more filtering options, AM, FM, general
coverage receive, TCXO [optional], downloadable updates to
firmware, Digital mode ready, and so on.
The K2 offers the chance to build a kit, [a plus for some
people], probably better receiver performance within the limits
of it's filter selections, built-in antenna tuner [optional], lower
receive power consumption and probably a few other things I
failed to mention.
I really think the two radios will appeal to two different groups
and I hope they both do well.
