Robert,

I certainly have not seen the latest serial number, but I recall that
the latest that has been sent to me for repair, alignment and
calibration was in the 7700 serial number range.  Coming close to 8000
K2s out there.

I'm working on K2 s/n 7788 right now.  Just started putting capacitors
on the Control Board, taking my time :)

I bought a K2/100 during the Black Friday sale last year, and it is SN 77xx. That is in addition to a second-hand fully loaded K2/10 I picked up in last February to start figuring out all the QRP excitement.

So, with continued sales I would say they are close to, or surpassed the 8000 number.

More than likely easily one of the most successful transceiver kits ever produced, and likely one of the most prolific transceivers in common use around the world.

I wonder how 8000-ish compares to various Japanese transceivers. While
building it is an adventure all to itself, I don't think it would have
sold so well if the resulting radio was not such a good performer. I sub
my K2 in for the K3 periodically just to stay fresh with its operation.
Always a treat.

Did you also cough while taking that first bite and send a cloud of
powdered sugar everywhere?
