Agreed, but I don't find the K2 an easy rig to use, especially mobile. Best
rig I ever used mobile was the Kenwood 130. The 140 was too big, but the 130
had the WARC bands and was very intuitive. Extremely easy to us while not
looking at the rig, and I used them for a lot of mobile miles, working DXCC a
couple of times and maiking an awful lot of stateside contacts.
My Scout is nearly as easy, but has the hassle of the band swiching via the
modules which makes a band change to "see what's going on" difficult unless
stopped.

I'd like a factory built rig as good or better than a 100 watt K2. Maybe a
bit bigger with better filters. If anyone can build that, it would be Ten
Tec.
