[Elecraft] K2 and split operation

This is a timely post for me.  I recently added the 100 w PA to my K2 and
now am using the K2 and my QRO amp to chase dx and dxpeditions.  Previously
I have used my FT1000mp to do this.  The dual receive capability of the mp
allows one to have independent filter settings selected for each of the
receivers and monitor both receivers at once (using stereo headphones, one
signal in each ear).  This is a tremendous feature, which obviously cannot
be duplicated with one K2.

However, my questions to the group are.

Can it be done with two K2s?  Has anyone put together a 2 K2 dxing station?
How does one mute the K2 that is being used as the receiver?  Is is possible
to send VFO info from one K2 to the other?

Meanwhile my 1000mp forlornly sits next to my K2 and waits for the next
dxpedition.
