Yea, Ron, what about them?

I've said it before -- I'd certainly pay as much as double the current 
price for an SSB module that a) had a filter with 12-15 crystals offering 
much steeper skirts, b) offered some degree of bandwidth variability c) 
had a more reliable VOX, including VOX sensitivity and anti-VOX.

Of course, the real problem is that the KSB2 is so crowded that it is the 
most difficult K2 kit to build, and there isn't much enough inside the K2 
to consider using a much larger circuit board.
