Leaving out the finals might do the trick!
The upgrade to full transceiver would be about pretty cheap (two
transistors, some hardware and those pesky thermal pads).

I would presume that there would be some market for a K2 with build

Well, you need to get the antenna, coax, a key, microphone?
I would nix the KPA100, and the DSP, and even the SSB option as
you can receive ssb fine on the base K2.
It might be more fun to put up a G5RV and use the low power
auto tuner, you can go anyplace on any band that way.
If you really
You'll need the SSB module for the digital modes. Keep it on the list.
The KAT-2 (auto tuner) also adds a real bridge and a second antenna
connector. If you have an antenna that is matched on all freqs you
plan on running, and only plan on having one antenna, the KAT-2 won't
do anything for you.
First of all, there was substantial interest in the K2 sitting alongside the
K3 at SeaPac in Oregon June 2 and 3. It's a great rig and, as several
people pointed out, one is assembled at lower cost from individual parts.
Elecraft just did a major update of the K2 Owner's Manual to be sure

Maybe for some modes. I haven't run all of them by any means.
I get out fine using PSK31 at 5 watts or less!
A few years ago it was uncommon to run into
This was a good usable rig for very little money,
not sure if they are still selling the entire kits
or just the boards, or what, but for $80.00, it
was a well working radio, and easy to build.
