I can't speak for the Expert 2K-FA, but we used a 1F-KA in CQWW WPX this
year and it performed flawlessly over 48 hours and only tripped out a
couple of times when people did something silly like switching antennas
without re-tuning (which is to be expected and welcomed).
If the 2K-FA works as well as the 1K-FA then I would be happy with one!
Impressive feature set including:
* 2KW on 1.8-30MHz and 1800W on 6m
* 6 x antenna connections
* 2 x Rig connections
* additional SO2R RX output
* 2 x CAT control for Yaesu/Icom/Kenwood/Tentec/Elecraft
* USB remote control

From recollection they can be had for EUR €4750.00 FOB Rome, Italy - if
you are prepared to arrange your own shipping, customs, import duty, etc.
I want one to replace my aged, but still very good, TL922 ;-)
