Hey Rich,
The menus do read with the KRC2, if you press the button to read the
display. Really, it's very nice--about the only things that don't
read are the tuning rate or tuning locked status and whether VOX is
on or not.
Yes, the tuner is external to the 100-watt radio.
I've had a K2 for a couple years and like it quite a lot! Really the
cat's whiskeers for cw, and it's not too slouchy on phonee eeither.
