Good Morning All. I am a new builder, and so far, an un-licensed Elecrafter. I ordered my K2 last week with the following options: KSB2, KDSP2, KBT2, KAT100-2, and an EC2. I have built numerous Heathkits in the past, but have no formal electronics training. I am also a retired Navy CPO (ADC) and P-3 Orion Instructor Flight Engineer. I flew the P-3 for 17 years and logged over 8,000 flight hours tracking Soviet Subs during the cold war. I am able to learn a great deal from your site and enjoy the discussions. Come to think of it, I may have lifted 1 or 2 cold ones with some former P-3 Radio Operators. We actually had a “key” in our aircraft, I thought it was a beer can opener J. Finally here are my thoughts…. I’d like to install the KPA100 (someday) in the top of the KAT100-2. This would require a cable/connection between the KAT100/KPA100 and the K2. My plan is to keep the KBT2 battery installed in the top of the K2. Possibly 1 or 2 quick disconnects to make the transition to battery operated portable again. (Now please keep in mind I know absolutely zip/nothing/NADA about the K2 or radios, but I am an Engineerd). Do the folks who use their K2’s in the field require an internal tuner? Could I eventually incorporate an internal tuner for travel, and keep the external tuner for home use? What are your thoughts. My last question please. What’s “73” and I thought “Q” was aerodynamic pressure as in MaxQ ?
