Hi Ray,

That's exactly what I am proposing ... an RX I/Q *option* board (i.e.,
KXIQ2) for the KX2.  The KXIQ2 would serve as an alternative to the KXIO2
Real Time Clock option board, replacing the AUX output of the KXIO2 with an
RX I/Q output.  As an *option* board, the KXIQ2 wouldn't add to the base
cost of the KX2.

I strongly suspect the earliest KX2's (prior to the field test units) had an
RX I/Q port.

I don't think this was the reason.

I'd welcome a third-party KXIQ2 option board to expose RX I/Q (even if it
does void the factory warranty).  I periodically ask for the KX2 schematics
for this vary reason.
