Besides,

I would really be surprised if Elecraft to get a price point for the so-called 
KX2 to justify it.  I am thinking that it would be priced too close to the KX3. 
 I already have a KX1 for those times when my KX3 is not my travel choice.  
And, I don't need all those bands because my portable operations favor shorter 
wavelengths.

I would really like to see a 2-meter solid-state amp come out of Elecraft.
