Dear Ron,

My experience is that all radios depreciate in constant dollars with time.
So another way of "storage", that is almost certainly more economical,
would be to sell your K2. That money plus the interest earned will likely
buy a better rig, for example a used K3, when and if you decide to get
back on the air.
