I have a new and unused Elecraft EC2 enclosure complete with the optional
ETS2 tilt stand to match the K2, all as new.
I believe that the EC2 empty enclosure kits are no longer available from
Elecraft.
The kit is unopened with original instruction documentation.

I have been using an Elecraft XV50 transverter converted to 70MHz now for
many years. It was originally used with my K2 and now with my K3. This
combination has won many contests here in the UK. RX sensitivity is good and
strong signal handling seems more than adequate for me. I would not
I recently acquired a used K3 from a silent key with a large number of
options fitted. I already own another K3.
I have stripped it down to be a K3/10 to simplify fault finding. The only
option fitted now is a KXV3 interface. I fitted the bypass link in place of
the KPA3. All tests are done
Thanks for that information. A Parameter Initialization (as described on page

specification of the VRF2933 devices which are used in the RF deck of the
amplifier. I noted that the devices are rated to 150MHz which made me think
a 144Mhz version of the KPA500 would be a nice addition for a K3 equipped
