I am would like to sell this as a package. I bought this through this list
two months ago. The seller listed it as follows:
QUOTE
FOR SALE: K2 # 185 and KAT100, preferably together but I'm flexible. My K2
has given me several years of great, dependable service but it's time
to free up some assets to try other avenues. My K2 has never been abused in
any way (such as extreme SWR, over voltage, rain, etc.), and I
don't smoke.
It's had all the important Elecraft-recommended performance mods and Alerts
applied, including the "A to B" upgrade. It has the KAF2 audio
filter/real-time clock, KAT2 internal ATU, and KSB2 SSB modules installed
and KBT2 internal battery kit (everything but the battery -
it's old and you don't want it). Although not installed, I'm including the
FWK2MCUIO set (main IC version 2.04P and IOC version 1.09) and FW
SSB (version 1.08B) which will make the rig ready for the K2-100 and
60-meter conversions.
The KAT100 is FULLY ASSEMBLED BUT UNTESTED - I just never got around to
buying the K2-100 amp kit to finish testing.
Included are original manuals (including accessory manuals) for each, and
power cables with Anderson Power Pole connectors.
Lots of pictures are available at

Email me with any questions.

PLEASE NOTE:
The K2 does an excellent job on CW. The a recent contest I worked PS2T on 5
watts / 20 meters, which just makes the 1,000mile/watt level. The SSB power
out is minimal. I tried using three mikes (and changed mike pin jumpers).
The SSB board is Rev. C and Firmware is 2.01H and IOC 1.02. There is no
reading on the S-meter when I transmit, and no reading on ALC. I do get a
very weak signal when I used each of the three mikes and listened on my
other rig. I also transmitted PSK and again get a weak signal, however, the
IMD was -23. A couple of hams within 5 miles said they heard me on 20 meter
SSB, but just at the noise level. Another ham who lives about 10 miles away
could not hear me, but I heard him calling me.
The K2, accessories and upgrades parts are over $1,000 today. I will sell
the entire combo for $800, including continental US shipping (This is the
same price as I paid). Shipment will be to the address on QRZ. Payment
needs to be made via certified check or money order as I do not have PayPal
at this time.
Contact me with any questions
Tnx
