I love the k2/100 for CW contesting and it is not all that bad on SSB. I have
a PROII also and like the audio from the K2 much better. I have operated NAQP
on both SSB and CW, but I have not operated RTTY. I have used in on 10 meters
and 160 too. I have not operated SS with it since I am at another location
than my home station.
The K2 has very good selectivity. It interfaces welll to contest programs like
WriteLog.
I have my filters set at 1.5 500 400 and 250. You can put the filters down to
100 if you want, but I find that disconcerting.
The key is crisp and clean although at some speeds there seems to be some
clicks. There is a mod being worked on for that. I use an external keyer (PC)
and works just fine.
I have not contested with the rig on RTTY but again you can set the filters up
to deal with the mode.
I rate it A+ on CW contesting and about at B+ on SSB

I'd like to hear from anyone using a K2 in contests, especially RTTY and CW.
Your impressions of this radio - esp the receiver - under contest conditions
will be appreciated.
Thanks and 73,
