[Elecraft] RE: K2 Front Panel Extension

[Simon Brown (HB9DRV)]

One problem with just using the K2's CAT commands is that you can't get at 
AF / RF gains, also tuning via CAT is a bit on the slow side. As I don't 
have a K2 I can't look at what would be needed to enable access to AF/RF, 
but this will surely be something being considered for the K3 :-)

In fact having a port on K3 which is similar to a laptop's docking port or 
some other alternative would allow a third-party to develop an optional 
front panel kit, freeing up the Elecraft design team from this chore.
