[Elecraft] OT: Elecraft K2 serial #00001 -- our very first production unit -- is looking for a new home

[W3FPR]

I too have a Field Test K2 S/N 00020 that is fully upgraded and tuned.  
It has all options except the KPA100 installed.  It also has the now 
unavailable K2XV transceiver interface and a Keyout Jack on the rear 
panel.  Functionally it is equal to a newly built K2 plus options that 
are now longer available.
It does have the KAF2, but not the KDSP2.

If it will go to a radio museum, it will be donated - otherwise make an 
offer.  Money back within a month if you are not satisfied.

73,
Don W3FPR

Unboxing it brought back fond memories from 1999, the year we started shipping, back when Elecraft had approximately 2 employees. This unit saw a few very successful Field Days. It was also my workhorse during the evolution of the K2's firmware and option modules. It includes the KSB2 SSB option.

Given its ancient pedigree, it features the first examples of some of the hardware mods. (Though I lack mil-spec soldering certification, I did put a lot of TLC into this rework.)
