[Elecraft] Which Mods Are Applicable??

[John R. Lonigro]

Jim:

I guess my approach would be to buy and build the basic K2 first. My S/N 
3401 just missed having the temperature stability mod included (I think 
they started with S/N 3425 or so). Anyway, the only mod I ended up 
making on it was that one. I am totally happy with the radio in that 
configuration. Looking back on things, I probably didn't even need the 
temp stability mod, since I'm not planning to add the amplifier. I added 
several options, but have made no other "mods". I've heard the key click 
mod is another important one, and I might end up building that one, but 
for now I'm happy with what I have.

I believe that if there were truly any important mods that needed to be 
made before the radio performed well, they would have been included with 
the basic kit. It works well right out of the box - after many hours of 
soldering (hi).

My 2 cents worth.
