[Elecraft] K2 feature request

[Jack Brindle]

Before this gets too far out of hand, realize that the K2 shares the  
PTT line with the Key DIT line. This means that grabbing the key would  
simply key the rig for you to talk. It would take a major redesign (at  
this point) to separate the two functions. I'm sure there are other  
shared facilities between the two.

To me this is a major tribute to the genius of Wayne who did an  
outstanding job of minimizing the components needed to create the K2,  
and thus not only make a great small radio, but also one that is  
affordable.
