You should realize that the addition of these LEDs requires substantial modifications to the K2 such as desoldering of parts, cutting of PCB traces, and addition of pins to PCB connectors with a risk of ruining something in the K2 in the process. I am not sure that I would recommend that anyone does it unless they are comfortable in following the schematic and description that already exist (http://la3za.blogspot.com/2011/05/five-k2-leds-in-buttons.html). With that said, two or three of the LEDs are simpler than the others. In particular the RIT/XIT/Split LED for which there already exists a step-by-step instruction from N0SS (although not for putting the LED in the button, so the instruction needs to be modified for a smaller non-ultrabright LED). In addition the Zero-beat LED is fairly simple to add provided one can build the zero-beat detector. As number three I would say that the Red transmit indicator shouldn't be too hard. Concerning the Audio Filter LED and the RX ant LED, then I would definitely not recommend that anyone adds them without a good understanding of the K2's internal machinery. And some self confidence for this kind of work. ----- Sverre, LA3ZA K2 #2198, K3 #3391 LA3ZA Unofficial Guide to K2 modifications -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/flashy-k2-on-youtube-tp6503538p6506069.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
