Thank you Elecraft!

Wayne is right on that one. Take a look at the K2 list of Mods. A K2
with a serial number above 4060 has many improvements over earlier K2s.
While each one of those mods is not especially expensive, they do add
value to the product.
There likely will be no future mods to the K2 unless some

It is MBA 101. You price products to cost or to market. When you are an
Elecraft you keep raising prices and track contribution to the bottom line. As
long as contribution is positive you have price elasticity . And prices go up
further. Forget the cost
