[Elecraft] Fwd: Re: Price increase in mid Sept.

And, for the early adopters, those mods is available as inexpensive kits to
keep SN 1 as current as SN 6000 or whatever they are at today. For those who
don't want to "open the hood" the Elecraft factory will do the upgrades for
you.

Wayne is right on that one.  Take a look at the K2 list of Mods.  A K2 with
a serial number above 4060 has many improvements over earlier K2s.  
While each one of those mods is not especially expensive, they do add value
to the product.

There likely will be no future mods to the K2 unless some redesign is
required because the original parts are no longer available - and there have
been 2 instances of that which I have been aware of - the speech compressor
on the KSB2 option and the encoder.  Both of these required redesign efforts
on the part of Elecraft - and that folks is on a 13 year old design.  What
other manufacturer would expend design effort to keep a 13 year old product
going with replacement parts?  I think many others would simply withdraw
support.

Yeah for Elecraft and their commitment to provide support for their products
for as long as reasonably possible.
