Despite what hat website says, there are no kits available.  Tom Hammond
was SK several years ago, but his local radio club has preserved the
content on his website.
All the instructions are there, and I believe Tom used FAR Circuits for
his boards.  An email to FAR Circuits may turn up a board for you.

I have two of these kits, unbuilt. I never got around to installing one in my K2. I would be willing to let go of one of them...

Anybody know what they sold for back in '07 I guess?

Thanks Kent,

I already have that in my bookmarks and refer to it often.
Thanks to you and your club (especially Jim Biggerstaff) for maintaining
the website contents.
There is a lot of value there, especially for K1 and K2 owners.
I also have much of the information here on my networked hard drive.

Last year, I found a kit offered by WB3AAL and I ordered. Unfortunately,
I learned later that Ronald became SK in 2018, but the order page was
still up at the time I ordered and I didn't find his passing on the
reflector either.

I think many people enjoy the kits Ronald made and I am very sorry to
have learned that I was too late. At least, if you "find" the kit
offering, you know not to try this.

Geert,

The kits that Ron WB3AAL (SK) offered were exactly the same kit as Tom
Hammond N0SS (SK) offered.  Tom passed the baton to Ron for the kits
some long time ago (2015 or 2016).  Ron added nothing, and in fact
offered Tom's documentation for the instructions.  One thing that Ron
did add was the option for an LED in a keycap - the origin of that idea
was mine, but I never documented it.  LA3ZA did document my work (plus a
bit more), see
https://la3za.blogspot.com/2011/05/five-k2-leds-in-buttons.html for
details.

Unfortunately, stuff stays on the internet for a long time, even when
the originators have sadly gone SK and their kits are no longer available.

I had frequent email interactions with Ron while he was selling the kits
- none bad, but always informative.  I built and installed many of those
kits for my customers.

If anyone would like to "pick up the pieces" and begin supplying these
kits, I am certain there would be many 'takers'.  I believe FAR Circuits
can supply the boards, and if that is not possible, Tom's documentation
has full size board layouts for anyone wanting to make their own boards.

Fred KF9GX at FAR Circuits does have them, they're four bucks each plus 3.50 for shipping up to ten. (Possibly more outside the US.) Thanks Don for pointing this out!



I believe it's the SMD version which is fun to assemble if you're a masochist! If someone gets around to ordering the parts to go along with the board, it would be great if they could post the list here. I believe the chip is obsolete but still available.
