[Elecraft] P2 anyone ??

[Alan Bloom]

(Giggle...)  I think it actually would be possible to home-brew your own
P2.  Just buy a P3, take it apart, and mount the components in an EC2
chassis.  

The LCD display looks like it would just barely fit - you'd have to come
up with some way to mount it to the front panel.  The Front Panel PC
board would probably have to be mounted at an angle so that the flex PCB
cables that come out of the LCD can reach while still having access to
the connectors on the back (bottom) side.  You could wire up the switch
contacts to mechanical switches on the front panel.

I think it would be cool if someone did that.  I just want to see the
look on the face of the Elecraft customer service technician when you
send it in for repair!
