[Elecraft] An K2 with 2M transceiver.

[Thomas Snare Knutsen]

Yes, the heatsinking of the powermodule migth be an problem, but 
mounting the transverter upside-down would cure this.
Is the size of the transverter PCB so that it could fit inside the K2? 
The best would be If the speaker could be left alone, but I think that 
is impossible?
I guess that I don't need to build the K2 Power amplifier and low pass 
filters, since it would be used as an 2M only transceiver.
An K2 2M transceiver had been cool to go together with an basic K2, and 
since the dollar exchange rate is low at the moment, I can afford to 
order another K2.
