[Elecraft] loaded K2 vs K3

[Larry Phipps]

I'm glad my K2 is setup for portable operation... battery, KAT2, etc. It 
is also my demo rig for shows like Dayton to power my wattmeter kits, 
and will remain so. I can't imagine risking my shiny new K3 getting 
scratched or damaged at a show ;-) You won't see my K2 on eBay!

73,
