>> 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??
