Fred, Having gone partially through this process recently, I would vouch for Don's recommendation that you do first what most adds to your desired operating capabilities. I would add only one small caveat though - the KAT2 installation requires removal of the heat sink portion of the bottom cover if you did not install its connector on the RF board when you built the K2, whereas the other options you listed do not require the heat sink removal. As you may know from reading this forum, hasty removal of the heat sink cover will cause the PA transistor mounting hardware and shoulder washers to fall out. I installed a K160RX module along with a KAT2 module while I had the heat sink removed, but I postponed the installation of other already built options for those snow days to come. Do be sure to carefully re-seat the heat sink cover and check the PA transistors for short circuits as directed in the K2 manual after re-assembly.
