[Elecraft] K2 Modifications

[Siu Johnny]

Hi Scott,

If you really don't like it, I shall take K2 from you at 80% of the 
original price, hihi.

No, you have no need to worry.  The modifications are for some limited 
cases and some personal preference.  I built K2 since s/n 1146 to s/n 4597. 
 Even the oldest one without any modification can function pretty well.

If you have ordered the latest s/n, all the required modifications have 
already been included in the kit.

Just enjoy your building and come back to this forum if you need help.  We 
have a number of experienced Elecrafter here.  If you want personal 
approach to solve your technical problems, please send your email to Gary 
of the support team.  I guarantee you get a precise and quick response.

No worry, my friend, just heat up your soldering iron - better have one 
with fine point and temperature control.

cheers,

Johnny Siu VR2XMC

I ordered my K2 before I joined this forum, and now that I did, I am
thinking maybe I shouldn't have ordered it. It hasn't been delivered
yet.
Is everyone having trouble with them as it sounds on this froum?  Why
is it necessary for all the modifications that are being done to them?

What's all this about completely removing RFC10 from the KPA100? Did
Elecraft do a bad job of designing this thing?

I just ordered the basic unit plus the noise blanker, and was
planning on adding the kpa100, and the KSB2 ssb unit later. I had
the understanding that these two options were plug in boards, but
it sounds like a rebuild to add anything. I have always hesitated to
take components out of a circuit board because there is a good chance
that damage to the board might occur.

Will a new kit that I just ordered four days ago need modifications,
and if so, how will I know what modifications I will need to do?

Would someone please tell me why I shouldn't put this thing up for
sale on Ebay in the unopened box?

Thanks
Scott N5SM
