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.

Meanwhile--with apologies for the bandwidth:
K2 S/N 1 is among the early Elecraft radios I've had in cold storage.
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.
Last week I sent the radio off to our legacy product tune-up guru, Dave Van
Wallaghen (W8FGU), who has now fully checked it out, tuned it up, installed
most of the missing upgrades, and given it an on-air shake-down. 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.)
If you're looking for a K2 of a certain age, either for a collection or to put
on the air, please contact me directly.
