I ordered the "kit" version when the first one's were offered (sn 475).

I got everything except paddle (not a CW operator) or the battery 
charger (use either external battery or use it mobile/in shack).

I did get the 2m module as 144 is IF of my mw transverters (1w drive 
level) where SSB is prime mode. Microwave* shots are typically from 
shore line or hill (mountain) top in semi-portable operation.

I use it with the KXPA-100 for mobile, where I have 25w 2m booster to 
drive 150w amp.  80w on HF/6m is fine for mobile.

I got options with thoughts of resale value (later on).
