[Elecraft] P3 with K2?

Tom,

The answer is "yes" and "maybe".
The P3 can tune to the K2 IF easily enough (menu setting) - in fact it 
can be tuned to anywhere between 455kHz and 21MHz.

The problem is getting the IF out of the K2.  To accomplish that, a 
buffer amplifier is needed to keep from loading the K2 IF.

Clifton Labs used to have their Z10000-K2 buffer amplifier to do exactly 
that task, but unfortunately Jack Smith is now SK.
I had obtained information that DX Engineering had taken over the 
Clifton Labs stock, but I don't see anything of it on their website.

If someone would build a buffer amplifier similar to the Z10000, then it 
would be possible.
