[Elecraft] K1 & KBT1

[Steve Lawrence]

On my KBT1 I installed a set of RC connectors so I can swap tops. To be 
generous, the KBT1 speaker is a compromise.  I always operate with 
headphones, so a speaker is otherwise superfluous for me.

What I'd like to see is a K1 top without a speaker that holds 10-12 AA 
NiMH cells and the circuitry for charging them with a connector on the 
back for the charging voltage input. A connector for an external 
speaker would be a simple add.

In other words, I rather have an optional plug in speaker when needed 
rather than having to open up the K1 to charge the batteries.
