[Elecraft] Resurrecting the K60XV module for the K2

[Dave Van Wallaghen]

Hi folks,

As some of you know, I mainly service Elecraft's legacy gear like the 
K2, K1, KX11 etc. I am also a part time employee for Elecraft doing the 
same for them. I have received a number of requests to purchase the PCB 
and various parts to get a portion of the K60XV functional for different 
customers. One of the main issues was getting the trimmer caps for the 
60m band-pass filter as they are now obsolete. Working with Wayne and 
Eric, I tried a couple of solutions, one being a couple of SMD versions 
of those caps that can be mounted on the top of that board. Placing them 
on the board is not a trivial task, but I have a pretty decent technique 
of mounting them here.

I have had some discussions with Eric about bringing this module back. 
We're not sure of the logistics in pre-mounting those caps prior to 
shipping new kits. But, prior to making the decision of bringing it back 
and researching if we have enough inventory of the other parts, Eric has 
asked me to post here to to garner some sense of interest to see if it 
is worth the man power to offer it as a kit again. So, I am looking for 
feedback as to anyone interested in buying this kit if we can 
manufacture them again.

To keep the list traffic down, please email me directly and I will tally 
results for Eric.

Dave, W8FGU
