Hm. Elecraft doesn't have to supply all your needs. Someone wanted the W2 to follow a band selection. It's likely the switch could be replaced with a relay connected to DIGOUT1 and that used to select two sensors. If you want more possibilities, you could probably build an external switching array driven by the BAND0-3 outputs.
10W on 2M is enough for many uses, and can drive an amp for more. Since I have a 2M amp (TE1452G) rated for 25W input, I'll have to see what works for me (a W2 sensor for high power VHF would be useful for that, but...). A K3-sized box for home-brew would be good, but there's no reason that it must come from Elecraft. I suspect that Byers Chassis would do an 10 7/8" width if you want it. Or someone could do drawings and find a metal shop to do a blank box pretty easily- the basic design is the same as the K2, and I fabricated a similar box pretty easily (it does use thicker material, which would make this more difficult for me). Hm, It's clear I could get stock bits from Byers that could be made into a K3-sized box pretty easily. There are a number of amps that can work nicely with the K3 (and are often much cheaper than the projected K800/K1500 price). Yes, some of us get our radios as appliances, but if you want something out of the ordinary, then building or modifying isn't that difficult. 73, doug ______________________________________________________________ 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
