[Elecraft] K2 Transverter interface

[Kurt Pawlikowski]

Mike,

    Just a thought: Could you have the unit shipped to whoever you're 
visiting? If it's a business trip, you might be able to have it dropped 
at the hotel or "held for pickup" at the local UPS or find someone in 
one of the cities you're gong to be in and have it shipped to them...?

    Regards,

    kurtt
