Yet. Seriously. The K2/100 is ten-year-old technology. Yet it has way more functionality for its size and weight than transceivers that are ten or twenty years older. With advances in component miniaturization and material science, it will eventually be possible to have a legal limit rig with PS and ATU all in a package the size of the K3. Just not yet.
