I have, likewise, been looking for the same opportunity. I would venture to guess that there is no one, maybe not even the K2 designers, who know the K2 as well as Don does. When my KPA100 would not put out power anymore, Don diagnosed it to the capacitor which needs replacing, and I was able to restore the K2 to full power again with Don's help. Don's comments are always well thought through. Thanks Don for all the insight not just on Elecraft rigs but on General Ham subjects as well.
