A few years ago I purchased an unbuilt K2 from eBay. It had a serial
number in the 1300s. One of the best pieces of advice I got was to
order a current (new) main PCB, and to incorporate all of the
recommended upgrade kits during the build. The updated circuit
board kit allowed me to incorporate the needed upgrades with minimal
difficulty. A bit of study of the upgrades and modifications is needed
to make sure that you don't end up "going backwards" by mistake, but
even that was relatively easy. I think the item you need is called the
"K2 rev A to rev B upgrade kit" - or something very much like that.
Check the Elecraft web site for a better description, prices, and
installations instructions.
My K2 has since seen additional upgrades and additions, and is now a
"current spec" radio that meets all of the performance requirements of
the very latest models. In my opinion, the ability to keep any radio
updated to "factory fresh" is the number one feature of all Elecraft
products.
Good luck with your new kit!
