[Elecraft] has the k2 a future?

[wrmoore47 at comcast.net]

Wayne, any hope of firmware updates for the K2?  My favorite would be keeping mode and ATU setting per VFO.  I'd be willing to purchase a more expensive microprocessor IC if more memory is required, as I suspect it is.

The K2 is a very mature product, and I don't anticipate adding further  
internal modules to it. I've thought about a Li-Ion battery as a  
replacement for the present gel-cell, but it's still too expensive and  
is thus left as an exercise for the reader.

The P3 should work with the K2, though less tightly integrated than  
with the K3. If that pans out, we'll post details later.

We have no plans to phase out the K2, which is still going strong  
after 10 years (for which we thank our customers!).
