Glad to say, ham radio does not suffer the obsolescence of consumer
electronics. The bands are more or less the same, the modes are the same.
The K2 is a compact, lightweight, portable transceiver with low power
consumption that you can build yourself. None of that is going to change.
What might cause it eventually to become "obsolete" are things outside
Elecraft's control, like the discontinuation of key parts for which there
are no alternatives.
