Chuck,

WHAT!  K2 SN 6951 was kitted much less than 10 years ago, and had 
already been updated with ALL the Elecraft mods.

Also, what 2 meter option for the K2?  The K2 does not have a 2 meter 
option.  If you want 2 meters, one must use the XV144 transceiver.

I hope you did not replicate mods that were already installed on the board!

OTOH, if you were updating a much earlier kit (original serial number 
less than 3000) and you purchased the upgrade kit with new boards, then 
all may be OK (those upgrades were issued a new serial number) - all you 
needed to do is build the K2 using the newer manual.

73,
Don W3FPR
