I like the sound of this... Maybe a few more items accessible directly from a switch (Rx antenna in/out, filter settings, maybe a dual display so you can see where VFO B is (and not make a fool of yourself in a pileup)). Maybe a USB compatible port? Built in 4P antenna switch... Ahh the mind boggles!!
*nudge nudge wink wink* I'm a buyer. 73, Julius n2wn ------------------------------------------------------- Funny you mention a K3. I was thinking about it this morning. After using the K2 for a bit I find my "need" for a K3 to be less. The K2 does pretty much all I need. I have a lot of fun with it as it is. If I want 100 watts I can add an option and I'm there. But having a larger package, bigger knobs, real analog s-meter, larger display, less menus (add an encoder or two that can be assigned to control a few things) - these would be great changes. So here's my proposal for a K3. Design a new display and control board that is larger and provides larger UI features. Hook it up to the K2 RF board. Mount it in a somewhat larger case. Voila, you have K3 - a base version of the K2. While you're at it, put a larger rear heat sink on the 100 watt PA and have no fan. These changes could be bought by K2 owners to allow a K2 to be changed into a K3. Most of the existing options would be swap-able between the two versions of the rig. Maybe this isn't a K3. Maybe this is a K2-B (version B for Base). - Keith KD1E - - K2 5411 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
