[Elecraft] K2 SN 192 ?

[Jim Wiley]

A few years ago I purchased an unbuilt K2 from eBay.  It had a serial 
number in the 1300s.  One of the best pieces of advice I got was to 
order a current  (new) main PCB, and  to incorporate all of the 
recommended upgrade kits  during the build.  The  updated  circuit 
board  kit allowed me to incorporate the needed upgrades with minimal 
difficulty.   A bit of study of the upgrades and modifications is needed 
to make sure that you don't end up "going backwards" by mistake, but 
even that was relatively easy. I think the item you need is called the 
"K2 rev A to rev B  upgrade kit" - or something very much like that.  
Check the Elecraft web site for a better description, prices, and 
installations instructions.


My K2 has since seen additional upgrades and additions, and is now a 
"current spec" radio that meets all of the performance requirements of 
the very latest models.  In my opinion,  the ability to keep any radio 
updated to "factory fresh"  is the number one feature of all Elecraft 
products.


Good luck with your new kit!
