[Elecraft] K2/10 serial number 100

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave,

Yes, that is one of the Field Test K2s - serial numbers from 1 to 100 - 
Wayne has SN 1 and I think Eric has SN 2.  The rest were sent serial 
number tags after Field Test with no priority that I know about.
It can be fully upgraded as is my SN 00020.  There are a few 
differences, like there are insulators under the crystals which you 
should install on any new crystals installed, the hole for the power 
plug is not large enough for the short power plug (I enlarged mine 
others use the longer plug).  Other than that, most of the upgrade kits 
give you instructions for upgrading from a Field Test version.
There were some FT changes which added a few components to the bottom of 
the board, those should remain in place.

73,
Don W3FPR
