But...some useful links are still hidden!  Phil Genera posted these **most** helpful URLs:

However, without Phil's help, there appears to be no links at the Elecraft website to these two important pages.  Perhaps there are others pages there right now.

I have some questions:

1.  Does the KX2 and KXAT2 have a MARS transmit firmware mod available to authorized users?

2.  Can the KX2 receive in *real* AM mode?

3.  Is the real-time clock in the KXIO2 backed up by a coin cell, or must the RTC be reset following any power interruption if the KXBT2 is not installed?

4.  Will the instruction sheets for the KX2 accessories soon be available for download?

5.  Will the KX2 system schematic and other technical information not found in the Owner's Manual soon be available for download?

Very impressive!  This appears to be a "must have" system for outdoor hikers and campers who are hams.  I see a new QRP rig in my near future.
