Martin,
It is easy to bring that kit up to the current level. You will need
only the Temperature Compensated PLL (thermistor mod) E850138, the
Keying Waveshape change K2KEYMDKT, updated firmware K2FWMCIO and 2
1N4148 diodes to add to that kit and bring it up to the current level.
If you decide the price difference is worthwhile, I suggest you purchase
it and order the parts above, download the latest manual and build from
the new manual instructions.

Dear all,
I have been offered an unbuilt K2 kit. So far as I know it is
somewhere in the 3000 series of serial numbers, maybe around 3500 if I
remember what the guy said. I am interested to know how far this would
differ from the latest radio and what steps I might need to take to
ensure peak performance and compatibility, if any. Can I buy an
upgrade kit to the latest version?
I will save about $100 on a current K2 kit price, not sure if that
represents value for the vintage or not.
Thoughts and opinions appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin, HS0ZED
