[Elecraft] K2 CW tuning indicator: was UK Elecraft net report

[Dave G4AON]

Mike you might want to try something less visually distracting than a
super bright LED, I find the "40 dB over 9" LED (the one already fitted
in the K2 S-meter) used with the K6XX indicator annoying at times and
it's not bright at all.

I think the tuning indicator will eventually be removed, I missed the
centre zero display on my K3 when I went back to using my K2 on CW,
hence the reason for fitting it. It's also worth considering a series
resistor with these detectors to limit the amount of noise triggered
flickering on the lower bands.

------------------------
I just ordered the components to build a KR5L CW Tuning Indicator for my
K2. Waiting on the IC from overseas. Have to layout a board and etch it
yet. Bought a neat orange super bright LED for the Lock button cap. That
should look interesting in that color.
