[Elecraft] Taking the K2 in theauto ...

Dear Chuck & Mike,

LOTS of good points Chuck!

I use a Radio Shack "Cassette Adapter" in my Miata.  It really provides 
GREAT audio in the car, no clicks thumps or feedback.  It's wonderful for 
fone or CW.  Just plug it into the speaker output on the rear of the 
K2/1000, and "zoom" you are ready to go!
