In my view, there should be no problem posting this sort of announcement.
You're not taking money AWAY from Elecraft with your product, because
to use it someone needs a K2...!

Beautiful job, Lyle. I'm assuming that you were able to reverse engineer
the AUXBUS commands to do this -- not impossible, given a logic analyzer
and a KAF2 to pass commands back and forth to monitor. No need to make
that public to anyone, and I agree completely with Elecraft's reasons
for not making it public. 

It will be interesting to hear further details as things progress. I
bet you got a pile of emails about this. 

I am sure a lot of people who were on the fence about a K2 because
it lacked DSP would consider this very exciting news. 

The list of birdies was enlightening. You may want to do some sort of
spectrum analyzer trace on the audio out to see how that is affected,
using a signal or sweep generator, too. 

Bravo.
