Big Pineapple Express, their power may have been chancy.  Lots of water

Mike,

I recently did some investigation of my repair records, and discovered
that a K2 serial number of 69xx dates back to 2011 or 2012.
Never fear, that serial number is fully up to date with all mods that
are available for the K2.
It may have MCU 2.04P while the newest is 2.04r, but the only difference
between those two firmware releases is that 2.04r locks the sidetone
source at U8-4.  MCU 2.04P allows the sidetone source to be switched
between U6-25 and U8-4 in support of very old K2s.  The number of
support calls and emails saying "I have lost my sidetone" prompted
Elecraft to make that change.

So if you have MCU 2.04P and lose your sidetone, just check the setting
of the sidetone source - it is easy to change, go to the STL menu and
edit the parameter - tap the DISPLAY button to toggle the sidetone
source.  You could also update the firmware to 2.04r (E610002 - FWK2MCU)
