Mike,

I understand that you have already ordered the parts, but a more compact 
CW tuning indicator is the K6XX indicator (similar circuit).  The board 
was designed by Tom Hammond and a kit of parts is available - see 
http://www.n3epa.org/Pages/K6XX/K6XXCWIndicatorKit.htm for the kit.

If you wish to avoid drilling holes in the K2, small LEDs can be mounted 
in the K2 Keycaps.  See http://www.qslnet.de/member/la3za/K2_LEDS.html 
for more information.  The tiny HP LEDs do require different series 
resistor values, so look at Sverre's schematics for that information.

73,
Don W3FPR
