Me, too.

No, many of us cannot afford it. (yet) I know I'd like to own a K3  
someday, but it's not a priority right now.

Well, we're still out here. We've been overrun by the K3 crowd, but  
we're still here.

There's not a whole lot of K2 development going on right now, since  
all of Elecraft's resources are focused on the K3. I hope they  
eventually get around to doing some more enhancements to the K2. I  
remember about a year or year and a half ago when Wayne was taking a  
list of suggestions for K2 enhancements.
