[Elecraft] CW Tune Led for Elecraft K2/K1

[Don Wilhelm]

Geert,

The kits that Ron WB3AAL (SK) offered were exactly the same kit as Tom 
Hammond N0SS (SK) offered.  Tom passed the baton to Ron for the kits 
some long time ago (2015 or 2016).  Ron added nothing, and in fact 
offered Tom's documentation for the instructions.  One thing that Ron 
did add was the option for an LED in a keycap - the origin of that idea 
was mine, but I never documented it.  LA3ZA did document my work (plus a 
bit more), see 
https://la3za.blogspot.com/2011/05/five-k2-leds-in-buttons.html for 
details.

Unfortunately, stuff stays on the internet for a long time, even when 
the originators have sadly gone SK and their kits are no longer available.

I had frequent email interactions with Ron while he was selling the kits 
- none bad, but always informative.  I built and installed many of those 
kits for my customers.

If anyone would like to "pick up the pieces" and begin supplying these 
kits, I am certain there would be many 'takers'.  I believe FAR Circuits 
can supply the boards, and if that is not possible, Tom's documentation 
has full size board layouts for anyone wanting to make their own boards.

73,
Don W3FPR
