For a K2-related add-on, you might look at my Z90 digital panadapter 
kit, details at www.cliftonlaboratories.com. Although a general purpose 
panadapter, about 95% of my customers use it with a K2. The Z90 is a mix 
of surface mount and through-hole parts. As far as the quality of the 
kit goes, so far the comments I have received have all been positive. 
It's about an 8-10 hour assembly project.

Another related kit is N8LP's LP100 digital wattmeter, which you can see 
at www.telepostinc.com.
