RE: [Elecraft] Solder fumes
I think an amplifier either tubed or solid state or power supply project in a case to match either K2 or K3 would be a fun project. Maybe a legal limit tuner as well. I would like to have a complete kit built station. There was an amplifier in the works if I remember right. Mike AB0TX...

Re: [Elecraft] Solder fumes
Well, the K2 could still have quite a life ahead of it. Many options are plug-ins, so we could ask for things like improved noise blanker improved ssb option improved gain distribution through the bands so we don't have a super hot radio at 40m and a rather anemic radio at 10m and 160m. Just a few ideas. 73, Bob N6WG The Little Station with Attitude - Original Message - From: Trevor Smithers [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2008 11:51 AM Subject: [Elecraft] Solder fumes It goes without saying that Elecraft have produced an excellent piece of technology in the K3 but even in the kit form it doesn't quite have the I built it feeling like the other Elecraft products.
