Big K2

S55M



It seams that someone could not stand it and gone to extreemes..
So here are my 2 stotins (cents in S5 currency)
Noone was talking abt TFT!!!
Noone wanted 200W (K2-100+PA is already over legal limit power even with poor UA GS triodes)
Noone was talking abt nice paint and JA-style housing.
Noone needs stupid memo ecc stuff (i think so because i never used them on FT1KMP as many other "Christmas tree" stuff on it)



But a bit of functionality could be improoved without any hardware mods....
K2 is UFB RIG as is!
But it could be better....and as Wayne and Eric never stop we will wait for up up up upgrades!
Second RX would be fantastic for contest users...but this is extreeme.
PTT input for CW is a "must" modification for serious PA work.And this is a small idea that went out from people who live with K2.

All ideas are probably wellcome...more ideas...better future K2 (K3-K4-K5 ecc)
And please...if You are satisfied with Your K2 as is, I am happy for You.
