   Hi Gang

I completed the build of  #6705 last night with the installation of the
SSB option.
I built this K2 (my third) with the thought of portable operations. The
options I
included are K160RX, KSB2, KAT2, KBT2, and KIO2.

It's been years since my last K2 but I remember discussions on this
email reflector
about a carrying strap. With the inclusion of the KBT2 (battery) option
the K2 is
a heavy little bugger....and I can see how a carrying strap would be
nice to insure
that no drops happen while moving the rig about. Has anyone here
installed a carrying
strap and is there anything to be concerned about?? I'm sure I can find
a carrying
strap to affix to the side of the K2....the question being...is there a
structural strength
issue to be concerned about since the side panel is attached to the PC
board??
