Thanks for 'all' the very interesting replies, lots of them, I get
pileups like that when I call CQ :-) .
About a 50/50 split for the do it vs don't do it camps though I forgot
to add, until somebody mentioned it here, about the tax. A new kit would
not attract duty but would attract VAT at 7% so my saving is now much
closer to $150.
I appreciate the warranty info, good to know. It also means something to
me to build it. I was too young to be a part of the Heathkit experience.
Oh yeah and I can pick it up tomorrow which unless you live next door to
the company has to be the best ever shipping deal 8-) .
Many thanks
Martin, HS0ZED

Dear all,
I have been offered an unbuilt K2 kit. So far as I know it is
somewhere in the 3000 series of serial numbers, maybe around 3500 if I
remember what the guy said. I am interested to know how far this would
differ from the latest radio and what steps I might need to take to
ensure peak performance and compatibility, if any. Can I buy an
upgrade kit to the latest version?
I will save about $100 on a current K2 kit price, not sure if that
represents value for the vintage or not.
Thoughts and opinions appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin, HS0ZED
