I too would be interested to see how much additional ""distortionless""
average amplitude could be generated beyond the AD chip.

FWIW my guess is that if audio compression and true clipping is to be
employed before the balanced modulator, it's an 'either - or' situation. If
some of both is used, the clipper should I think be ahead of the compressor
mainly to take advantage of the existing noise gate in the K2's compressor,
but not a tidy arrangement. I still have the hunch that if a clipper is used
as the 'main' audio processor, the compressor's compression ratio should be
reduced.
To limit additional distortion could require a symmetrical clipper in the Tx
IF together with the audio compression, but that is a very different story,
and quite impractical as a mod to the K2.
