K2 backward compatability
Locked
 
|
The new K3 sounds great but for now I will be completing my K2 station. So I am
looking for continued upgrades and options for the K2, as well as eventual upgrade path to a K3 in a year or two. Will there be any K3 options that might become useful with a K2 station? My main interest here is in outboard amplifiers for digital modes (sound like K3 100 watt unit may have better cooling, allowing higher power levels in high duty-cycle modes). Also, will the big linear amps that are planned work with either K2 or K3? 73, Tom KG3V _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Tom,
The KPA800/1500 amplifiers will work with any rig, including the K2 and K3. These have been delayed because of the K3 release, but we'll keep everyone informed of progress. We plan an external speaker/power supply unit for the K3 someday, as well as a panadapter, and these would all work with the K2. The K2 may benefit from some of the K3's hardware and firmware, someday, but I can't predict when/if. 73, Wayne N6KR On Apr 30, 2007, at 8:06 AM, Tom Zeltwanger wrote: > The new K3 sounds great but for now I will be completing my K2 > station.

Wayne,
That sounds great. I would love to have a matching speaker/power supply for the K2. And a panadapter would be a huge benefit for my station. The lack of one of these is the one factor that almost made me buy another rig! 73, Tom KG3V Quoting wayne burdick <[hidden email]>: > Tom, > > The KPA800/1500 amplifiers will work with any rig, including the K2 and > K3.

You have my order when it's available ... for either the K2 or K3 ... or both!

K3 = 3500.00 loaded, KPA-800 = 3500 (approx) Better start saving now!
