Eric,
I do repairs, alignment and calibration and upgrades of the Elecraft
legacy gear (K2, K1, KX1 and XV series transverters), and I am as busy
as I want to be (sometimes more than I want to be).
So there is still a lot of interest in that gear, but you are right,
most of the posts are about the K3, KX3 and KX2.
Non-the-less, there are frequent posts about the legacy gear. Many of
the older posts about "how to do ..." are no longer seen, but those
questions do pop up occasionally.
Many of the K2, K1 and KX1 posts come from folks who have purchased a
used transceiver. In many cases, they did not get all the associated
pieces (counter probe for the K2, connecting cables for the KAT100,
power cables, etc.) so those new owners need assistance, and they do
often post to the reflector.

I had recently stopped monitoring the reflector as I only have a K1 and
two K2's. Everything is K3 and subject lines rarely reflect that anymore
so it's hard to filter them. But I had a K2 problem and rejoined. Got a
response with solution within an hour! And discovered that I miss the OT
discussions from a unique bunch of experts. Most of the OTs are
interesting and more relevant to a non-KX/K3 owner. So I'm back to
monitoring only OTs. hi.
The new products don't fill any need in my hamming that isn't satisfied
by the K2, but the ongoing development of the state of ham art at
Elecraft is extraordinary to see.

P.S. Us K2 owners are rather quiet these days. I suspect few are still
monitoring the reflector. I miss the many questions about soldering,
testing, setting up an antenna, etc. But time, and products, moves on..
