[Elecraft] Re: K2 backward compatability

Tom,

The KPA800/1500 amplifiers will work with any rig, including the K2 and 
K3. These have been delayed because of the K3 release, but we'll keep 
everyone informed of progress.

We plan an external speaker/power supply unit for the K3 someday, as 
well as a panadapter, and these would all work with the K2.

The K2 may benefit from some of the K3's hardware and firmware, 
someday, but I can't predict when/if.

73,
