Two thoughts...

First... What is your ratio of US versus non-US customers?  Does
the FCC dictate what products you can offer to non-US customers?
I, for one, would be interested and I suspect most of your non-US
customers would be.

Second...  (Here is where I date myself...) My first rig was an
Atlas-110, a solid state separate receiver/transmitter combination
which connected physically when you purchased the transmitter
section...  The receiver section was required for the transmitter
to operate.  Could you connect the KPA-100/EC-2 (or a special
version of the EC-2) to the K2 so that it could be considered one
unit similar to the Atlas-110.
--OR--
In a variation on the second theme, could you design an extension
for the K2 (probably on the bottom or top) that could house the
KPA-100?  (Sort of like extra layers on a cake...)
