[Fwd: Re: [Elecraft] Big K2 (or K2B - B for Big)]

[Leigh L Klotz, Jr.]

I wonder how much of the desire for a bigger K2 could be satisfied with 
a remote front panel?  I have often thought of building a remote head 
for the KIO2 using the $40 Olimex PIC front panel board (now from 
sparkfun.com) for use with a backpack.

The same idea could be used for a bigger front panel, which could also 
provide two VFO knobs (though not stereo dual reception).  I think only 
the AF gain and IF gain are impaired, and the AF gain is easily worked 
around by using an audion amplifier in the remote head.
