[Elecraft] K2/10 upgrade question

[Rick Tavan N6XI]

The primary reason to put the amp in an EC2 enclosure is to preserve
portability of the K2/10. Since you already have a K1 and plan to get a
KX3, it would seem that your field operation bases are covered. Keep it
simple and put the amp inside the transceiver case to use as a base station
radio. Bonus: it's still pretty portable so long as you will have power
available.
