When I heard that the KDSP2 was being discontinued I ordered a second K2 with
all the accessories – KAT2, KPA100, KNB2, KAF2, etc. There just isn’t any
other real build-it-yourself transceiver in the market today. The Sienna
revision, apparently, is still in prototype.
The K2 kits are now in my basement closet. The question – should I build it?
Or save it . . .
Consider – how much would a never-opened-box be worth today for a DX-100B kit?
(Shipping weight at the time was 107 pounds, in case that’s of interest.)
Let’s see – the DX-100B came out in more or less 1960. That’s 56 years ago.
In 2072 I’d be 128. Will Richard at Elecraft Parts still be able to provide
whatever might be missing from the K2 parts list for whoever owns the box then?

The K2 was first prototyped in October 1997. I'll bet no one back then
would have guessed that demand for parts would still be around 19 years
later in 2016.
