Well, if you folks will wait for another decade or so, the K1, K2 and KX1 will be "retro" too.
Not only that, I would expect most of them to still be working FB.
They will never be the size and weight on a 75A4!

My K2 sentiments, too, Eric. Relatively easy to work on and still a fine transceiver. I still have several projects in mind for it, and with the K3 as my main rig now I feel more free to take the K2/100 off line for a longer period than before.

Basically, I'd like the K2 to stay a K2.

It will be interesting to hear your K1 ideas. Mine pretty much sits in a drawer, fully outfitted with options. It would like some attention :-)

Ha ha. I've been collecting ideas and notes to make a work-alike retro K1. It's a fun on-paper exercise, and an excuse to really dig into the K1 to understand how it works. But I don't think I'd want to devote the time required to accomplish it.

On the other hand, leave the K2 alone! hi. Like the K1, I'm not afraid to dig into it. When something goes wrong, I have a reasonable expectation of fixing it myself even if I have to ask for help here and there. I don't hesitate to add mods such as AF output or IF output. Being non-SDR, it is ALREADY retro enough!
