I'm glad my K2 is setup for portable operation... battery, KAT2, etc. It
is also my demo rig for shows like Dayton to power my wattmeter kits,
and will remain so. I can't imagine risking my shiny new K3 getting
scratched or damaged at a show ;-) You won't see my K2 on eBay!

The conclusion one can draw is that there won't be many K2s sold for
exclusively home (base) use. The more options one puts on a K2, the
less value it presents. The market for those who want a low power
consumption rig must be close to saturated, or at least will be if
lots of K2s hit the market in anticipation of their owners moving up
to a K3.
To me, the K2/100 seems doomed as the price differential, as you point
out, needless to mention the value, is clearly in the favor of the K3.
And the big advantage of the K2, low power consumption, doesn't really
come into play with these QRO rigs.
Speaking of value, I have a bare K2 with no options here on the desk.
How many other K2s are there out there with no options? - Dr.
