[Elecraft] Second RX

[Alexandra Carter]

Just get a 2nd K2!

By "boots" I suspect you mean an amp, they're out there, the HFpack 
group has an amp in the works, I think you can buy the kit, and there 
are other kits out there. Our FCC in the US is very uneasy about 
anything that could be conceivably be used on CB, so HF QRP amps are 
not as common on the US market as they could be.
