[Elecraft] K2 NB design contest ?

[Steven Pituch]

Well I guess there's the SSB crystal mod, and the ones to make it better
with the amp, and the keying one for PSK, but I don't recall one mod yet
that would improve the basic QRP CW rig receiver-wise.  I think the Elecraft
team designed a great radio to begin with, and made sure it was good before
they released it, and the mods are more to accommodate a lot of the options
that came later.  I am doing OK in the Foxhunts and don't want to change a
good thing.  In other words, I don't want to chance messing up the rig right
now.   ;.)

If the performance problem was on CW, perhaps your friend's sn 5** rig was
not aligned correctly originally.

I've upgraded a couple old K2 including one for a friend that was Serial #
5** and you'd be suprised at the performance after the upgrades.  One
upgrade may not do a lot but if you bring your early K2 up to current level
it'll blow your socks off compared to what you have now.  Not to Dis the
unit you now have as we all know they are great rigs, but what's wrong with
making a great rig better?
