My K2 sentiments, too, Eric. Relatively easy to
work on and still a fine transceiver. I still
have several projects in mind for it, and with the
K3 as my main rig now I feel more free to take the
K2/100 off line for a longer period than before.
Basically, I'd like the K2 to stay a K2.
It will be interesting to hear your K1 ideas. Mine
pretty much sits in a drawer, fully outfitted with
options. It would like some attention :-)

Ha ha. I've been collecting ideas and notes to
make a work-alike retro K1. It's a fun on-paper
exercise, and an excuse to really dig into the
K1 to understand how it works. But I don't think
I'd want to devote the time required to
accomplish it.
On the other hand, leave the K2 alone! hi. Like
the K1, I'm not afraid to dig into it. When
something goes wrong, I have a reasonable
expectation of fixing it myself even if I have
to ask for help here and there. I don't hesitate
to add mods such as AF output or IF output.
Being non-SDR, it is ALREADY retro enough!
I couldn't agree more on the styling of the
75A4. Nobody's going to mistake it for a high
end stereo receiver.

Having noticed the recent semiannual K4
speculation I wanted to offer
speculation in a different direction.
11) Put it all inside a "big" box in the style
of the best looking piece of
Ham Radio gear ever designed: the Collins 75A4.
12) Real "Collins" style knobs , real "bat
handle" toggle switches.
13) Only a few radio functions need constant,
easy access, tie those to the
big knobs and toggle switches.
