[Elecraft] re: Nixie tube display for the K2

You could replace the crystal with a DDS vfo similar to the KX1, or you
could USE the KX1.

I used my K2 as a VFO for my Drake 2-NT crystal controlled "Novice" rig.
Worked very well, but tied up my K2.

Now I use an AmQRP DDS-60 with a KD1JV controller and Jackson Harbor Keyall
as a dedicated VFO for the little Drake.

Way cool -
Now I don't feel so bad. Along side my K1 build, I am working on an building
a "Novice Special" 12 watt transmitter - think 70s qst - uses a 6c4 and a
5763 tube. After I get the base transmitter working, I want to replace the
Crystal with a DDS vfo similar to the one in the KX1. All this came about
when I was scrapping out an old Heathkit condenser checker with a green eye
tube. the empty chassis screamed for such a project.
Well - time to inventory my pocket protector now ;) -73s Pete
