Yes, Elecraft some dedicated K2 owners have the data on line. Elecraft has
upgrade kits to bring your vintage K2 up to the current configuration and
performance. For a list of the various upgrade kits for the K3, see:

If you want to review each mod independently and perhaps incorporate them
using parts on hand check this excellent list compiled by Sverre, LA3ZA that
features links to detailed how-to documents for each mod:

Also, there's a wealth of information about the K2, mods and application
notes on the Elecraft web site:

I have a chance to buy a rather early K2 in unbuilt kit form. It's serial
number 192. It has the SSB adaptor, Noise blanker, Audio filter, a set of
pre-wound toroids and the Revision B boards and parts and updated manual.
In doing some research on the WWW, I see there have been a number of
changes/modifications over the years by the factory and others. I've run
across alternate wiring for the AF gain and mention of a cure for BFO drift.
Does someone have a list of the various changes that I should incorporate
while building this rather early K2 should I decide to take the plunge and
buy it? 

Thanks & 73,
Puck
