[Elecraft] K2 and an External Linear

[Jim Reid]

Hmmm,  I have just agreed to accept a K2 as part
of a rig trade deal.  Have been pursuing the info
about my "new" rig.  However,  it appears the present
units will not key up the use of an external linear -- seem
to lack the N.O. relay terminals with the proper delay to
prevent linear "hot switching".  Is this really the present
situation,  or did I miss something.

I see in reading about the coming 100 watt built-in
module that it will,  seemingly have external amp
"keying",  but even that is not clear.  Also note that
one of the new features will be the SO-239 RF
connector.  There is not one on the K2 as is?
What then is the standard antenna connector?
I should recv my K2 in only a couple more days,
then I won't have that many questions,  hi.

Yes,  I know,  the K2 is really a QRP rig,  but sometimes.....
