To answer some of my own questions ... (just found the online manual):
a.) Seems not. :-(
b.) Yes.
c.) Still unanswered. Not meaning 0 but real measurements (important for
transverter use).
d.) Listening to AM signals in SSB mode only. Hmm ...
e.) No FM. Still a pity as just a firmware option ...

Amazing news, Wayne. Allow me a couple of questions:
a.) Will it support the 8 kHz IF shift as in the KX3? Otherwise
probably the same trouble as with the KX3 with AM breakthrough (which
is a problem here in Europe and rendered my KXFL3 useless lot's of
times as I had to switch on the IF shift to get rid of the ghost
signals).
b.) Will the KX2 support transverter mode (display)? It would
certainly make a great IF rig for VHF/UHF/microwave portable.
c.) How low can you set the output?
d.) It has general coverage RX, but no AM mode? Does not make sense to
me.
e.) No FM mode. A pity, there's quite some FM activity and would be
very useful for microwave IF rig applications, too. Or is that just to
distinguish the KX2 feature set from the KX3?
From the videos seen it seems you did a great job with the internal
speaker this time, congrats!
Tnx & 73, Olli - DH8BQA

Introducing the Elecraft KX2 transceiver -- the newest member of our
compact KX Line. The KX2 has features very similar to the KX3, at
about half the size and weight. It fits easily in a jacket pocket. It
can even be used hand-held, with a built-in mic to facilitate
HT-style operation.
Despite its small size (1.5 x 2.8 x 5.8") and light weight (13 oz.),
the KX2 can be configured as a complete HF station, with an internal
2.6 Ah Li-ion battery, wide-range ATU, and attached CW keyer paddle.
This greatly reduces the amount of gear and cables needed for field
outings. For home and mobile use, the KX2 works with our KXPA100 100
watt amplifier.
The KX2 can transmit in SSB, CW, and data modes at up to 10 watts.
This power level, combined with adjustable speech compression, yields
a truly effective SSB radio that fits in the palm of your hand.
True SDR (software-defined radio) technology, with 32-bit I.F. DSP.,
provides features you'd expect to find only in a desktop rig: stereo
dual watch, noise blanking, noise reduction, auto-notch, 8-band RX/TX
EQ, a digital voice recorder with two transmit messages, and
PSK31/PSK63/RTTY text decode/display. You can even use a keyer paddle
to transmit in these data modes -- no PC required.
The KX2 covers 80-10 meters (9 bands), maximizing flexibility for
field ops, SOTA, micro-DXpeditions, and ultralight
hiking/backpacking. Two padded carrying case options are available
(CS40 and CS60).
