Thanks for all the responses. I guess I could run a battery charging
cable out one of the unused holes -- not perfect, but certainly usable.
(I'm not willing to drill another hole). It seems to make the
diode-resistor arrangement in the KBT2 irrelevant, though, particularly
since my normal power supply is a gel-cell.
My solar panel is the "experimenter/budget" 10 watt panel from
Connecticut Solar. It's very nice -- gives over 15 volts even in shade,
and folds up in a zippered nylon cover. It was about $100. The charge
controller is a nifty little kit from Don Brown, about $25, I think.
It's not a way to save on electric bills, but it is interesting and fun.
