I wonder if we as a NG might put together a design
for an HF rig that could be built with ease by novices
and experienced constructors alike?

I'll go for that - willing to offer some webspace too.

See Gareth - I'm not all that bad.

I suggest that none of the CB-style gadgets of today's
CB-style rigs are necessary and that a reproducible design
having only the facilities of, say, the KW2000, would
provide the basis of any station.

Fine radio the KW2000. Work great. One of my club guys has
nothing more recent in his shack for HF use.

Keeping it simple will increase the chance of success.

Yup. Make it a similar project to the K1 and K2 Elecraft -
i.e. you can make it work in stages and use itself as a piece
of test gear too.

ooo 100mW output allowing the choice of PA
for CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio-Hams or
running barefoot QRP for _REAL_ Radio Hams.

Steady. You could lose my interest quickly.

Any of the established CB types in this NG are welcome to
join this discussion, I only ask that your contributions be
meaningful and not the inane sneering 'n; jeering for which
you are famous.

Sure - make it good and you never know what could come of
this. Do feel free to email me Gareth - I won't bite - have
about 50Gb of webspace doing nothing.
