[Elecraft] Vedr: [KX2]

[Jack Chomley]

I agree with Martin, the SSB module added to the existing KX1. The KX1 being a builders kit radio now, the space inside may be at a premium, so the SSB module could be a pre made one as surface mount components, so it could fit inside, without making a new case etc?
Is this feasible?
