[Elecraft] K2 and FM

The fine folks at Elecraft may prove me wrong, but ---
I doubt an FM addition to the K2 would be practical.  It may require a wider 
bandwidth filter for the IF, likely the addition of a limiter and an FM 
detector for the receiver, which likely would be easiest implemented as a 
separate IF strip.  A transmit solution may be more practical because that 
would just require an addition to the PLL/VCO circuits.

There is a chance that such a conversion would fit into the basic K2 
enclosure, but it certainly would not fit in the K2/100.

Any possibility of FM facility for the K2?    Preferably on both RX and TX, 
but on RX only would be handy especially when using transverters on VHF.
