[Elecraft] K2/KAT100-1

[Terry Schieler]

I'm just wrapping up the build of the KAT100 antenna tuner (I was in need of
a solder fix) and a thought occurred to me.  Has anyone considered an
external circuit that would allow the KAT100 to be used with HF transceivers
other than the K2?  The K2-KAT100 interface is a great feature and very well
thought out.  But the KAT100 is such a dynamic accessory that I'd love to be
able to take it with me when I travel with my IC-706mkIIG and other rigs
that lack internal tuners.  (My IC-706 is one of my "knock around" rigs that
I take places that I would rather not take the K2).

I assume this circuit would require more than just a momentary-action "Tune"
button in a box.  Any ideas?  Does anyone think this can be done?  It might
even increase the market for the KAT100.
