Elecraft has a 100 watt PA planned for introduction in the next few
months.  It will be a module that can be stuck into the radio in place of
the removable ATU and battery pack.  Another solution for the low power of
the K2 is to get an external amplifier for the shack.  Something like a
Hercules :-) .  I have the K2 in progress here, have owned OMNI VI's for
some years (and Corsair II) and will make my own comparisons soon.  I
don't expect to sell one off over the other, but some of my ham friends
have done so!
