LED's in K2 keycaps

John Cooper
Ok Ive got LEd’s in the keycaps in the Mode/Vox switch for transmit A=B/Split for rit/xit/ and split mode, and XFIL/AFIL for audio filter on.

Still Planning on the rant switch light in the ANT 1/2/TUNE button when I buy the 160M option and the CW zero beat light in the PRE/ATT/SPOT cap.

  Now I wanna do the same thing for Rate/LOCK key to light when you have the VFO knob locked out and for the NB/LEVEL switch when the NB is on.  Has anyone looked at adding lights for these 2 functions?

  John,

The NB on signal can be found on the KNB2 board, but the VFO LOCK
condition has no signal outside the microprocessor associated with it
that I am aware of.

Both of the additional LEDs that you propose are already indicated in the LCD display: VFO Lock with a blinking decimal point and the KNB2's with its own arrow. Thus the need isn't there in the same way as for the five that I have fitted: Zerobeat, Split, AFIL on, TX, RX ant on
