:-) I know what you mean. I demo'd my k2 to Boy Scouts but had been apprehensive especially for that reason, but also worried that the smaller scouts wouldn't see what was going on if everyone crowded around the radio. So I used software control of the K2 and amplified the audio output, and the demo went over well. Of course, I gave a talk about ham radio and demonstrated examples of different modes, which I'll admit is very different from letting anyone sit there and use the rig. Software isn't always a perfect solution but might be for occasions like this.
