Or!
Why not keep the K2 as is and get a K2RX only that can be mounted along with 
the K2 as a second RX making 2band rx possible.
It also have to be muted by K2 tx and if possible the K2RX frequency can be 
transfered to the K2 for instant tx.
It also must work as a stand alone unit that would be nice for SWL 
operators.
And since power isn't a problem in such enviroment the unit would have 
frontmounted speaker with a 3 watt amplifier.
Just a thaught!
