I'm wondering about the feasibility of a project. The goal would be to
have a dual receive setup using two K2's.
One K2 (K2/100) would be used as a transceiver. The other would be a
receiver only.
Since I would be building the receiving K2 from scratch (this may be an
elaborate rationalization to build another K2), I would want tow special
features:
- an internal jumper to disable the transmitting circuit. Perhaps
cutting signal or power to the driver or finals.
- a way to bring the MUTE line out to a rear jack.
The existing K2/100 would also need changes:
- a way to bring the mute MUTE to a rear jack. The K2/100 MUTE line
would also mute the K2.
- a way to bring the receive signal from the K2/100 to the K2.
I can figure out how to mix the audio outputs from the two radios.
I'm figuring that a K2/100 and a K2 would cost less than the current
crop of $3,000 radios and yet have better basic receive performance.
Dual in-band receive would be great in pileups and such.
I'm not looking for a SO2R setup, just smooth dual receive.
Any suggestions or guidance greatly appreciated.
