[Elecraft] Kits built for W4PM

[Bob Nielsen]

I suspect that the K2 was originally a Rev. A kit and the original  
owner also purchased the Rev B upgrade Kit which included new pc  
boards and the additional components required for the Rev B boards (I  
recall that a complete set of resistors was included), so there will  
definitely be some parts left over.  The upgrades received a new  
serial number and that one is close to mine (#3273), which I built as  
a Rev B upgrade.  There is a set of upgrade instructions on the  
Elecraft web site.
