Giuliano,
From the Elecraft website www.elecraft.com, order K2FWMCIO - see the
Order page and then Spare Parts, and then select K2 on the page which opens.
Be aware that you must have the updated wiring on the Control Board for
the sidetone source.
If you have the KPA100 or the KIO2 installed, that change has already
been made. If it is not installed, refer to the KIO2 or KPA100 manual
(which you can download) and you will see the changes to the Control
Board in the installation section.

Thanks for everyone's help.
I cleaned the contacts on the microprocessor of the Control Board and
RF Board and now the message seems to have disappeared
( INFO 80).
I checked the firmware version that is 1.04A (main) and 1:02 on I / O.
I think it is useful to update the firmware but can not find how to
order the two microprocessors. How do I get them?
Thanks again

Hi, Giuliano --
Congratulations on your K2. Once you have it whipped into shape,
you'll find it to be a fine radio. Plus there's hardly anything in it
you cannot work on and fix yourself if you build kits like the K1.
One of the K2 manual appendices is "Troubleshooting". You should give
that a look.
Before you do any updates contact the previous owner and see if he
can provide a list of any updates which may have already been done. I
have #380 and back then the K2 was still a "work in progress" with
most of us doing updates incrementally as they were posted on the
Elecraft email reflector. For example, my K2 was something of a
continual project from July 1999 until June 2003, and I made *most*
of the changes identified during that period. Then I was away from my
obsessive focus on ham radio for close to ten years. When I started
using my K2/100 again I found that I had made most of the changes,
but there were some left to do -- and some I didn't need or want to
do. I made one of those changes I wanted earlier this month. Your
seller of the K2 may have made most of the changes already, or some
of them or none of them.
If you've not been there, go to this page
http://www.elecraft.com/K2_Manual_Download_Page.htm#K2 and in
particular download this file
http://www.elecraft.com/manual/k2a2binstr.pdf It provides a list of
the major changes in the basic (10 Watt) K2 and options. See if you
can determine which have been done -- by asking the original owner or
inspection.
You will probably want to update to the latest firmware, unless
that's already been done. You can determine several firmware versions
by using menu options from the front panel; others will require
disassembly and looking at the label on the chip.
If you have the KPA100 there are other mods and updates which can be
done (there is an update kit and a mod kit for the KPA100).
Have fun with your K2. I have the K3/P3 combo and find that the
K2/100 still holds its own in that company.

I bought a K2 SN 670 to complete my collection Elecraft.
I now have K1, K2 and K3 + P3.
The K2 serial number is very low and I think some changes are
essential and others less so. Can anyone tell me what mods are the
really important?
I also have a problem that occurs very frequently: when I change
band +/-, very often comes out "INFO 080". What can I do?
Thanks for the help
