And, for the early adopters, those mods is available as inexpensive kits to keep SN 1 as current as SN 6000 or whatever they are at today. For those who don't want to "open the hood" the Elecraft factory will do the upgrades for you.

Wayne is right on that one. Take a look at the K2 list of Mods. A K2 with a serial number above 4060 has many improvements over earlier K2s. While each one of those mods is not especially expensive, they do add value to the product. There likely will be no future mods to the K2 unless some redesign is required because the original parts are no longer available - and there have been 2 instances of that which I have been aware of - the speech compressor on the KSB2 option and the encoder. Both of these required redesign efforts on the part of Elecraft - and that folks is on a 13 year old design. What other manufacturer would expend design effort to keep a 13 year old product going with replacement parts? I think many others would simply withdraw support. Yeah for Elecraft and their commitment to provide support for their products for as long as reasonably possible. 73, Don W3FPR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
