[Elecraft] I0CG K1 SSB mod

[Jessie Oberreuter]

      I don't have any personal interest, but I have considered building 
one for a friend.  PSK31 would certainly be doable on the K1 with the I0CG 
mods.
      For a while, I was considering building a swappable replacement head 
for the K1 that turned it into a dedicated RTTY rig complete with 
scrolling display and a mini-din keyboard jack :).  RTTY is pretty easy to 
pull off given the K1 design.  Alas, a PSK31 head would be non-trivial. 
Come to think of it, you could lose the keyboard and "type" the characters 
just as easily via the cw key :).
