Another K2 Mod

[w6jd]

Forget the K3! Forget the all the little nit-picky firmware mods...what the K2 needs is a BLACK PANEL!!!! That has to be worth another $100 at least!

I remember back years ago , having a blank TT 509 front panel
anodized black,,,,,  guess I spent too many years in the consumer
audio business.

Then  I learned to appreciate the old tt GREY ( INSTRUMENTATION) ....
  with a whole string of TT boxes... Titan / Herc/ 253/238/omni6,,,,,

I like the K2 graphics,,,, right in between,.,,,

Now see what the new ICOM receiver looks like .....
back to the hp type instrumentation gray,,,,  like TT  had.,..

even Bob Heils mics have gone all the way to RETRO....

what goes around.......

  Gee...my TT RX320D software-controlled receivers are plain
  black.....three jacks (libe out, spkr out, 12V pwr in), a DB-9
  connector and an on-off switch. No dials, no knobs, no "pilot"
  lights.  Handy for putting on the top shelf of the bookcase
  behind all the manuals!
