Excellent!  I asked for this mod for the K2 a year ago (it still would
make a good addition).  This feature really makes SWLing easy.

Would it be possible to add a solar panel jack & internal recharger (or
maybe external)?  It would be great on a hiking or kayaking trip to have
a small solar panel that could recharge the radio batteries.

Would it possible to add a wide filter setting so the audio quality is
better - maybe 3.5khz to 4.5khz.  Sometimes it is nice to just listen to
music - 2khz is a little narrow.

This product is definitely looks better now!
