The K2 fills a unique role, and it's the only full function transceiver you
can build from through hole components (its only rival is the JUMA TRX2 from
Finland which is made with SMT and it is more money for less functionality.)
Although you don't anticipate adding more modules to it there might be a
demand for an official version of the last digital interface board that was
designed by the late Pauli Nunez EA3BLQ. Since a Li-Ion battery option isn't
on the cards I suppose I'd better start thinking about replacing my old
gel-cell - 10 years old and still holding a charge. Is this a record?
