Holy Mackerel! I haven't seen a rack mount since the last time I tilted an
807 with Marconi! (Jes' kidding. Actually Gugliemo died the year before I
was born.)

The two screws on the sides near the front of the K2 look just about right
to take a couple of short sections of 1" aluminum angle stock (sold at most
hardware stores) to provide "ears" for a rack or other suitable opening.
While those 2D connectors should take the strain just fine, for a really
robust RV environment in which you might be going over bumpy roads and
throwing a lot of G-forces on the rig (especially in the vertical axis), I'd
be inclined to add a couple more screws to attach the ears very securely to
the side panels.

If memory serves me correctly, the station out in the Carribean that
Bob Patten, N4BP, operates from in some contests has two K2 radios
rack mounted.  Maybe Bob could help?
