Hello Mark,
Yes you are right the KIO2 is another Elecraft quality kit !
Please don't get me wrong for what I'm gonna write : I love my K2 !
BUT I have the feeling it is also the most overpriced extension that you
can purchase for your K2. I have a full loaded K2 (KDSP2, KAT2, KNB2,
KSB2, K160M) and KPA100+KAT100 in a EC2 enclosure. At $89 I really have
the feeling that it is twice to expensive considering what you get. Also
you MUST have it four a couple of option like the KAT100 or the
transverter. As it is the only "proper" way to get Auxbus signals out of
the K2 I really think it should have been included into the basic K2.
I'm not aware of what the R&D cost for this option where but I feel that
the price should be around $35 to $45 ...
Maybe we will have the luck to get it on the K3 :)

Fellow Elecrafters,
I just completed building and installing the KIO2 in K2 S/N 0539. WOW!
Nice accessory kit. It would have been a single evening kit if it were not
for other obligations. Two nights to get it assembled, tested, and
installed? Not bad. I was very pleased to see the display on Ham Radio
Deluxe change as I rotated the VFO dial and changed bands. I know this is
going to be an excellent accessory for my K2.
This included the MPU v2.04 upgrade.
It looks like Elecraft makes another quality kit.
THANKS ELECRAFT!
Mark Saunders, KJ7BS
