[Elecraft] Price of a K2

[David Yarnes]

Mike and All,

You may be right--I haven't watched all that closely--but 
what I think I have noticed is that ones selling for the 
price range you mention typically are "light" on add-ons. 
Typically I see the lower priced ones without internal ATU's 
or DSP.  Also, lower priced ones tend to be earlier 
versions.  There were substantial changes to the ones that 
start with serial numbers above 3000.  I can tell you 
though, that early versions work very well, and if they have 
been updated, you can't tell much, if any, difference.  I 
have #72, and another one in the 4000 range.  Both sound 
pretty similar to me.  The great think about a K2 is the 
fabulous support you can get for it right here on this 
reflector, not to mention Elecraft's superb support team. 
If you have a problem with a K2, 99 times out of 100 the 
solution is only a few keyclicks away.
