[Elecraft] K2 accessories order

[Don Wilhelm]

Ed,

That is a Field Test K2 serial number.
I recommend that you upgrade it with the K2ATOBKT and *all* the other 
upgrade kits that are listed in the K2 A to B instructions. Do that 
before considering adding any options.
I would also recommend that you upgrade the IF crystals to the newer 
crystal set.  If you have an old KSB2, take a look at the crystals that 
came with it, and if they are not marked with an "-S" suffix, order the 
set of 14 matched crystals so you have 7 to use in the base K2 and the 
other 7 to use in the KSB2.  If your KSB2 has the current level 
crystals, you only need a set of 7 for the base K2.
If you want to change the KSB2 filter bandwidth to the newer 2.4kHz 
width, add the SSBCAPKT when you build the KSB2.

Back to the base K2 upgrades, do the Alternate AF Gain Wiring Mod, and 
if your K2 has been used for a significant time, replace the AF Gain 
control.

Once you have added the A to B upgrades, you can start on the options.

73,
Don W3FPR
