Hi Eric..

Question (& comment):

I thought that if you eliminated the 10 mtr band, all was cool..  If so,
would there be a possibilty of an Elecraft kit external amp minus the 10
mtr for the K2? band ?  Maybe this is already on the drawing board..  I
think I would prefer something like that over a new heatsink lid.. .. even
better if the external amp had a QRO ATU..  Heck, If ten meters is usable,
10 watts *is* QRO.
