[Elecraft] [K2] Re： has the k2 a future?

[Leigh L. Klotz Jr WA5ZNU]

Johnny,
Do you have pictures posted?   I remember when you started this project and
I'd like to see how it worked out.

Presonally I lean more toward LiFePO4; although they have a lower energy
density than the Li-Po (though higher power density) they reportedly are
safer in conditions of over/under charge and mechanical stress.
