[Elecraft] K2 Carrying Handle/Strap???

[Phillip Buckholdt]

Fred

     I have built 3 K-2's and have used the carry handlle for the IC-706 on 
them. It involves drilling and tapping holes for 2  2mm screws and 4 4/40 
holes for the feet if used.  The number forthe handle kit is something like 
MB-106.
