I recently saw a string of posts on the HFPack forum about a "dream radio" for HFPack, Pedestrian Mobile, etc. Almost everything asked for by various contributors is already part of the K2--effective NB, DSP, 15-20 watt output power, miserly receiver, built-in battery pack, etc. What the K2 doesn't have are the physical characteristics for carrying it.
It seems to me you could produce side panels for the K2 that were longer in front and back to protect the controls in front and connectors in the back. These same side panels could have attached metal strap loops for carrying the K2 with a shoulder strap, and strap loops for tieing it down to an ALICE frame, etc., Perhaps the top and bottom could be extended too, at least in front, creating a box around the controls for protection. Has anyone with a machine shop experimented with this, or has Elecraft considered making some extra-long panels? Just a thought.... 73, Eric WD6DBM K3, K2, K1, KX1, P3, XV432, XV144, mini-modules, 64-oz glass for the Kool-Aid.... ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
