Jack,
On 10/15/2009, Wayne Burdick had this exchange on this reflector under the subject line: "has the k2 a future". It sounds capped to me.

I've thought about a Li-Ion battery as a replacement for the present gel-cell, but it's still too expensive and is thus left as an exercise for the reader. The P3 should work with the K2, though less tightly integrated than with the K3. If that pans out, we'll post details later. We have no plans to phase out the K2, which is still going strong after 10 years (for which we thank our customers!). 73, Wayne N6KR ===================================================================== Jack Brindle wrote: > Ted; > > I don't think that "the K2 has been capped" is all that accurate.
