Hi Rich...I would suggest hanging on a little longer and getting a Corsair
2 as
it has a few more refinements than the Corsair 1. While the TS-830 is a good
little rig, if you want the best CW rig, your going to have to look long and
hard to find anything better than the Corsair 2. Be very careful of the K2
as I
hear it has very poor QSK. Good luck Rich.
