[Elecraft] Solder fumes

[Robert Tellefsen]

Well, the K2 could still have quite a life ahead of it.
Many options are plug-ins, so we could ask for things
like
        improved noise blanker
        improved ssb option
        improved gain distribution through the bands so we
                   don't have a super hot radio at 40m and a
                   rather anemic radio at 10m and 160m.

Just a few ideas.
