"I was wandering if I had KBT2 option in my K2, could I get away with
using a small power supply (say 750mA) which supplies just enough current
to charge the battery and run the rig in receive mode? Assuming the
resistor does the same job as the light bulb?"

After ruining two batteries due to overcharging while using that same
scheme, I decided that a smart charger would be cheaper in the long run.

I haven't had a bit of battery trouble since buying the smart charger,
even though it's left connected continously.
