Many years ago, I had a piece of Heathkit gear that needed a touch up. I
took one of the side panels to Home Depot. They scanned the panel and made
a custom mix that matched perfectly (except the finish).
Maybe taking an Elecraft panel to them would give you the color you need.

Thanks, Don. I feared that might be the case – that once the amp and tuner are
mated in the EC-2, using that tuner by itself for a different amp would require
severing it from its mate. Then, to return to the “twins” configuration for
the other K2, means doing all of that in reverse. A

Hank,
I am not clear what you are trying to accomplish.
First, CW+SSB is only applicable for transmit, and you cannot transmit
with the subRX.
Yes, you can swap the frequencies, but transmit is still only on the
main RF board whether in SPLIT or not.

The answer is if you want to go to some bit of trouble, yes you can use
the KAT100 in the EC2 enclosure. If you want to do it only once in a
while, then you can, but if you think you will do it frequently, you
will want another KAT100.

My best guess is that others cannot shift the transmit frequency fast
enough to follow CW -- or they just don't think it is important.

Carey,
You need to buy the KAT3A.
There is no upgrade kit for the KAT3. I would suspect the PC board layout to
be different for the KAT3A from the KAT3 to allow for the additional relay.
So I doubt there is any way to retrofit a KAT3 with the bypass relay.

With CW+SSB turned on, SSB will be sent at the carrier frequency
indicated on the VFO.
When CW is sent, the frequency is shifted by the amount of your
sidetone pitch, so the receiving station will hear a pitch equal to your
sidetone pitch.
Note that for normal CW, the signal
