How about a weighted stand-up expanded front panel for a K3 that uses that ethernet connector on the bottom of the K3 box. Then the K3 box itself could be remoted on the other end of a cat5 cable. For portable operations, you just unplug the stand-up front panel and use the physical front panel.
This could have separate displays for radio A and radio B, equal full size knobs for the radios with separate "small knobs" that are always in use, band buttons, etc. Or maybe separate standups for radio A and radio B. Radio B plugs into Radio A standup which plugs into K3. Lot of possibilities in that direction. 73, Guy.
