Connecting a panadapter *after* the crystal filter would indeed be an exercise in futility. The normal connection point is to the post-mixer amplifier ahead of the crystal filter via a high input impedance buffer amplifier, and thus the only selectivity of importance is that of the K2's input

I've got a Z90, and the kit's not very difficult. The display is too big to fit into a EC-2 case. The width and depth are OK, but it's not high enough. So, I fabricated a K2-like case from aluminum sheet, using the little fastener blocks from Elecraft, and it looks good. It's just about 1 1/2 K2
