[TenTec] I hate to say it but...

[Al Gulseth]

I've owned a couple of K2s over the years and scratched my head quite a bit 
over why the IF/AF filter selection system was set up the way it was (filter 
selection stepping wide to narrow, requiring "taptaptaptap" [if I count 
right!] to circle back around to the next wider filter) instead of being 
bidirectional like the older TTs are. In other ways the K2 is the general 
direction I wish TT had gone with the Argonaut/Argosy line.

K3? Not of interest at this QTH.
