K2 and then what?

[Gary D Krause]

I should be receiving the KPA100 today for my K2.  I started thinking about
what I'm going to do, kit wise, after installing it?  I've got all of the
options that I want now and I don't want to build a K1 or any of the smaller
kits.  The K3 looks appealing but, it's not a kit in the same sense as the K2
is with having to solder components.  It sure would be nice if Elecraft had
another HF kit that is somewhere between a K2 and K3 or maybe a kit that is
more for home station use than portable.

Gary,

I had the same thought when I finished the K2 with all I wanted.  Just before the K3 was announced, I was going to buy another K2 and put it together.  Then the K3 hit and I just did not have the dollars to do both.  So, I opted for the k3.

It is like this....what are you going to do for an encore when the K2 and the K3 have set a standard?

How about a K4 that has no other knobs anywhere near the
tuning knob?  That has a built-in real-time band scope...
That has the option of a built-in AC power supply...

Not an Elecraft, but definitely a kit: http://www.dzkit.com/sienna_main.htm

I had the same thought.
I just kept adding "stuff" to my K2/100.
Fixed Audio output mod/board
Clifton Labs Z10000 IF Buffer Amp board.
Telepost LP-PAN and EMU-0202 sound card for Pan adapter display on my
computer.

Last kid, last year in college (the good lord willing and the creek
don't rise), I see a K3 in the future.

I don't know about you, but I would like to build an Elecraft color TV or
Elecraft electronic organ. I know the feeling......kit withdrawal is
serious!!
