[Elecraft] Z90 Panadapter

[Brett gazdzinski]

I would like one.
I wish elecraft designed loads of stuff so I could build it.

A nice base radio with more knobs and buttons would be great,
they could just tweak the basic design of the K2 but add more controls
with discrete knobs and get away from the 2 or 3 functions per button.

100 watts with a built in tuner and maybe even a panadaptor, wow!

I wonder if the elecraft guys actually make a living making kits,
or do they need day jobs?
With such great designs (electrical and mechanical) I am sure they could
make big bux at a real job...
Lets hope someone does not make them an offer they cant refuse...

Despite it being motorcycle and yard work season, I am still in 
the basement listening to CW on the K2, its so amazingly good...
