Re: [Elecraft] K-2 and Panadaptor
I think this is definitely doable, but will require a f/w upgrade for the K2 to add additional P3 specific commands and responses. The P3 can easily handle the 4.915 MHz K2 IF freq. (We'll also need to offer a simple buffered IF output mod kit for the K2 for those who have not already brought the IF outside the K2 case.) Anyone know what the frequency is on other radios that provide an IF output? And what its bandwidth is? No promises, but it might be interesting to do something in that area. 73, Eric WA6HHQ -- KM4VX wrote: Don : Thanks for the info.

I may buy neither anyway, but I like to explore options. I have a PRO 111 and find the scope very useful to identify other signals within range. My K-2 may not need anything further and is a delight to operate. I haven't found any use for the installed Z1 as yet.

[Elecraft] K-2 and Panadaptor
I have a second K-2 with the Z1 buffer installed and intended for use with a panadaptor. (I hope this is the correct term. LP-PAN?) I have never used this particular option, but am familiar with the scope in the IC 756 PRO 111 which is superb. I wonder if the panadaptor Elecraft is introducing this weekend will be compatible with the K-2 as well as the K-3? Also, will a separate monitor be required or will the unit include a display? Fankly, if I wanted to control or monitor my rig with a computer I would buy the Flex radio. If the option includes a display and is compatible with the K-2 I might be interested. Thanks.
