:-)  I know what you mean.  I demo'd my k2 to Boy Scouts but had been
apprehensive especially for that reason, but also worried that the smaller
scouts wouldn't see what was going on if everyone crowded around the radio.  So
I used software control of the K2 and amplified the audio output, and the demo
went over well.  Of course, I gave a talk about ham radio and demonstrated
examples of different modes, which I'll admit is very different from letting
anyone sit there and use the rig.  Software isn't always a perfect solution but
might be for occasions like this.  A snapshot of the projected image when I was
getting things set up is at
