[Elecraft] QEX article and K2

[Jack Smith]

John:

I am the author of the QEX article and the designer of the Z90 and Z91 
digital panadapter.

Although these were designed as a general purpose panadapter, it turns 
out that about 90% of my customers use it with a K2. Consequently, I 
have modified the computer display software to integrate with the K2 to 
permit mouse click tuning, i.e., click on the spectrum display with the 
mouse and you can automatically tune the K2 to that frequency. It's a 
pretty nifty feature and works reasonably well.

The display height is 4.5 inches or so, and with the necessary 
clearances, one needs an enclosure that is about 5 inches tall, and 
preferably a hair taller.

I have one customer  that installed (or he may still be in the process 
of building it) the Z90 in a home made enclosure that is a scaled up K2 
enclosure.
