A comment about the K2NB and the different reasons that we perceive as being
responsible for the lack of its improvement:
Just how much would an optimized NB design cost as to become prohibitive for
the average Elecraft customer ??? We already have a DSP option costing >$300
which many people think as very important and continue buying. An optimized
NB is guarantied to be both more important and more desirable feature, which
I doubt it very much can approach the above cost. (even if it did I, and
many other fellow Elecrafters would still go for it)
On the other hand, having such an expensive NB available does not
necessarily mean that the current design would have to be discontinued. I am
sure there are also many of us absolutely satisfied and delighted by the
current NB, and some lucky hams do not even get pulse noise ever at their
QTH's. These customers could still have the option of getting this K2NB at
its low cost and complexity, but for heaven's sake, give the rest of us
urban dwellers the chance to optimize our K2s.
