Another point for the KIO2 is that if you want to use a K2 without
the KPA100/KAT100/EC2, you will still have the computer interface.
Handy for that camping trip or mini-DXpedition.

Rolf,
An interesting post. You probally have enough paint for several
lifetimes.
KK7P on his website discusses how to interface without a KIO2,
however he did implement the KIO2 solution to his station. It does
simplify the process. Given that by the time you reach this point
in the build process the cost of a KIO2 is fairly insignificant in
the total cost of the station. And I agree it does offer increased
flexibity of the radio. Well worth the minor investment. QRP or
QRO my K2 is good to go! (Could this become an Elecraft jingle?)
Also, the "Elecraft Guys" if you are making reference to the
Elecraft corporation do not, nor have they ever, offered support
for remoting the KPA100. That is a user modification/enhancement.
Many users, including myself, have found it fairly intuitive to
combine the KAT100 with a KPA100 even if it is an unsupported
configuration.

- The philosophy why the elecraft guys probably won't recommend
this is
just that if you have an extra KIO inside your K2 you can use it
independent from your external KPA/KAT.
