OK - I can't stand it any more ! Here's my 2 cents. I want a K3! I want
it to be the same size as my Collins KWM-2 - in fact, I'd like it to look
and feel like my M2 or S-Line gear with a great cabinet, really nice
paint, excellent rotary knob placement and size with just a couple of

The 'panel' can be as large as your computer screen.
Apologies to those who really want to press 'real' buttons (and that

Yes! They're evil incarnate! Hate them, hate them, hate them! (Especially the
ones at cash register checkouts for using your debbit card...what's the matter
with real buttons?)

As the design of the K2 is pretty modular I do not see any reason why it
would not be possible to mount a K2 inside a larger box and add a direct
entry keypad and memory/mode buttons

Hi, All,
Hope you had a Merry Christmas.
Just my 2 cents on touch screens- I work with AMX touch screens for
classroom multimedia control. (I don't work for AMX, rather a state
community college) The main advantage of these touch screens is that you
can put any kind of buttons and labels

I wonder how much of the desire for a bigger K2 could be satisfied with
a remote front panel? I have often thought of building a remote head
for the KIO2 using the $40 Olimex PIC front panel board (now from
sparkfun.com) for use with a backpack.
The same idea could be used for a bigger front
Don,
That is almost exactly my point! I think the K2 provides all the hooks
for a larger front panel based on a standard computer of some sort.
For backpack operation, I want something like the traditional mobile
detachable head, like Ken WB6MLC does with his Yaesu rig. I don't want

Why not a big front plate where you can plug in 2 times the RF board.
Guys,
Wouldn't it be much cheaper just to get a magnifying glass?

Happy New Year!

All,
If a larger remote front panel is the proper answer, then why not simply
use one of the K2 enabled software control programs which can add function
as well as size and flexibility? The N4PY software and Ham Radio Deluxe are
two examples. The 'panel' can be as large as your computer
