When do you mean?  There was no text in your post.  Did you send in 
HTML?  If so, mailman would have stripped it out - you must use plain text.


The K2 was initially designed and released to Field Testing in 1998. 
There have been several design improvements since then, and at the time 
of SN3000, the boards were re-done to incorporated all the upgrades on 
the board.  The only change since SN3000 is the keying waveform upgrade 
which is installed as part of the kit starting with SN 4660 if I recall. 
 The kits are still being shipped and the serial numbers are 
approaching 8000.


I don't recall the years each of the upgrades were released.
Any early K2 can be upgraded to the current level with the kits and 
instructions from Elecraft.
