-----Original Message----- From: Craig D. Smith Of the "big" projects being discussed, the K3 is the only one that captures my interest and enthusiasm.
-------------------------- Funny you mention a K3. I was thinking about it this morning. After using the K2 for a bit I find my "need" for a K3 to be less. The K2 does pretty much all I need. I have a lot of fun with it as it is. If I want 100 watts I can add an option and I'm there. But having a larger package, bigger knobs, real analog s-meter, larger display, less menus (add an encoder or two that can be assigned to control a few things) - these would be great changes. So here's my proposal for a K3. Design a new display and control board that is larger and provides larger UI features. Hook it up to the K2 RF board. Mount it in a somewhat larger case. Voila, you have K3 - a base version of the K2. While you're at it, put a larger rear heat sink on the 100 watt PA and have no fan. These changes could be bought by K2 owners to allow a K2 to be changed into a K3. Most of the existing options would be swap-able between the two versions of the rig. Maybe this isn't a K3. Maybe this is a K2-B (version B for Base). - Keith KD1E - - K2 5411 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
