Yes, I did work on my K2 (s/n 0008) to try to improve what I felt was 
lo AF output. I don't think it was ever quite as bad as Bernie 
portrayed his as being.. mine was just a bit 'impotent'.. so to 
speak... I solved my problem with a Motorola Amplified speaker... NO 
PROBLEMS NOW!!!

For me, I think some of my perceived problem was that the speaker 
points up, rather than forward... from my 'barefoot' (no ext. spkr) 
K2, I can obtain adequate, though probably not what I'd call 'loud', 
output with the AF Gain set to 11 o'clock or so...
