List of Popular K2 User Modifications?

[Mark RAYBOULD]

Having just completed my K2 and only recently been following the
Reflector for K2 topics, I wondered if there was a popular list of user
modifications which can be added to a K2 apart from Elecraft's standard
boards.  I hear about a screen for the crystal filters, for example.  
Any advice is appreciated and thank you all in anticipation.  (On-list
or Off-list)

Mark,

Sverre Holm LA3ZA maintains the 'Unofficial' list of K2 mods - take a look
at http://www.qslnet.de/member/la3za/K2/mod.html for the info.  The list
contains older mods that have been incorporated into the newer K2 design as
well as a lot of other user mods.  Select from those user mods carefully,
and be certain that the benefit to be derived is consistent with your
desires.  As an example, my CW PTT mod is listed there, and while a benefit
to some, it kills the QSK capability of the K2 while it is active and would
not be desirable under normal situations.

Petr,

As far as I know, there is no comparable list of mods for the K1, but then
as far as I know, there are fewer mods to the K1.  I and a few others have
put a K1 on 160 meters and there is at least 1 K1 that tunes on 10 meters,
and as I recall someone actually added sideband to a K1 (my memory is
'fuzzy' on that one).  You will have to comb the archives for mentions of
these mods and follow the links that are provided.

Here is a working url for the K1 mods that I found in the
K1_Mod_SSB_Reception.txt, seems they are in .doc form
I wonder if these have the same content as the k1ssbmod_ed2.pdf does?
