Yes, the heatsinking of the powermodule migth be an problem, but
mounting the transverter upside-down would cure this.
Is the size of the transverter PCB so that it could fit inside the K2?
The best would be If the speaker could be left alone, but I think that
is impossible?
I guess that I don't need to build the K2 Power amplifier and low pass
filters, since it would be used as an 2M only transceiver.
An K2 2M transceiver had been cool to go together with an basic K2, and
since the dollar exchange rate is low at the moment, I can afford to
order another K2.

Thomas,
I have thought about that too in the past, but I discarded it.
There are mechanical problems to be solved - such as the heat sinking
for the XV144. It might work if the XV144 were mounted upside down
inside the K2 lid.
My final opinion on it was that the transverter stacked under the K2
was the best solution. YMMV.

Hello all.
An idea I gor recently was to order another K2 and incorporate an 2M
transverter in to it. Would this be possible, or am I crazy just
thinking about it?
I guess that the Auxbus would be avaible inside the transceiver so
that the control should not be any problem.
Does anyone know if the Elecraft 2M transverter would fit inside the
K2? If so then it migth just be to find an way to incorporate it to
the top cover and maybe screen it some?
