Leaving out the finals might do the trick! The "upgrade" to full transceiver would be about pretty cheap (two transistors, some hardware and those pesky thermal pads).
Dan / WG4S / K2 #2456 <snip> I would presume that there would be some market for a K2 with build instructions modified to complete all the receiver bands before starting on the transmitter, for when the licensee upgraded; it might need appropriate type approval, though, for that market. It would far exceed the construction experience required for the licence! </snip> _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
