[Elecraft] K2-P3 Interface Project

[Heinz Bärtschi]

Eric, Wayne, Alan, K2 owners, PIC experts, et al.

As a very satisfied K2 line owner I did recently add the Z10000B-K2 Buffer Amplifier and the high-performance P3.
The most important part missing now (and with me maybe hundreds/thousands? of other satisfied K2 owners) is a "tiny" PIC
based interface.

This K2-Interface should emulate/execute the "P3-specific command set of the K3" and the "P3-K3 communications
protocol", so that the P3 acts as a best possible integrated extension of the K2 (integration as far as
technically/economically reasonable).

If I understand aright the situation at Elecraft, they don't aim now/further on to allocate any resources to realize
this project. So could this definite project eventually be done by students/trainees (to intern at Elecraft or at a
college of technology)? Another solution could be to outsource this project to a well skilled/equiped PIC expert?
If such a solution should be sponsored, could a call for donations be published on this list server?

Contributions and proposals to realize this project (quickly...) would be very appreciated.
