I have built K2 4670 working great, soon to add the 100W/tuner.
To learn more about this wonderful hobby, I also just bought an original K2
# 389 with the internal battery kit. This will be my QRP radio. This is also
obviously a Rev A model. It came with the following un built modules.

One thing Wayne/Eric have been scrupulous about is to offer mods/updates to

Most well-designed rigs are protected against sporadic high SWR's. I'd be
much more concerned with arcing in the relays inside the tuner. Nothing
destroys relay contacts like switching them "hot". Elecraft's tuners reduce
output power during tune to minimize that danger. Like you said, that isn't
