[Elecraft] K2 lifespan

[Leroy Marion]

  My K2 is still my favorite and most used radio. Just before this email
I was building the K60XV option so I can add the XV50 tranverter I just
ordered.
   It's a QRP machine. I'm mostly CW, but its fun to get on SSB and astonish
the QRO ops with 10 watts. Most don't know until you tell them.
   I  also have the K1 and the KX1, they are as high quality and fun.
The workhorse is my K2.

Its been a fun run that’s not over for me.

Hi,

Hope this list is for questions like this, apologies if not. Never
used an Elecraft, thinking about getting a K2, and was wondering what
people thought about it, especially at this time, 11 years later.
Looks like it came out in 2000? I like the reviews and I don't think
I'm advanced enough for a K3 so, just wanted to hear what others
though about the life on this rig. Will it be replaced anytime soon?
