Or, a K1 / K2 "Tune-Up Kit", with a CD with all manuals and the spectrum
analyzer software, a kit dummy load, and "Quick Reference Card"?

Hi

I have several and experiment with different types from time to time. I
think this should be another Elecraft product.

This is about the only thing absolutely required to complete your kit that
does not come in the kit so I think Elecraft should offer it as an optional
kit. A QRP version for the K2/K1 and a QRO version for the K2/100

How about one of the Ohmite 51 ohm resistors on a small heatsink in a small
box with a BNC connector good for 20 or so watts.

Or even simpler one of the PC mount BNC jacks like in the K2 on a small PC
board with one of the Ohmite 51 ohm resistors and a TO-220 heatsink. You
would connect it with a short BNC to BNC cable. Should be fairly cheap to
kit up

Or several of the Ohmite resistors on a PC board with TO-220 heatsinks or
screwed to the case.

This could go into a KRC2 size box.

Maybe fit one of the little KPA100 fans to it for cooling when used for QRO.
It should be able to run 100 watts for a short time for use on the KPA100.

I would buy one just because it says Elecraft on it and it would match my
K2/100

  Would there be any interest in a simple Elecraft QRP dummy load kit?
