Just wondering

[bud73]

I am interested in learning the year that the K2 was introduced into the Amateur Radio market.
And, what is the approximate year K2 s/n 2514 was shipped?
Thanks to the Elecraft historian(s) that can answer my questions.

Bud,

The Field Test of the K2 started in late 1998 and ended in 1999 (I
believe May) with the first production K2.

I would assume SN 2514 was shipped about 2002.  That is a Rev A K2, and
if not installed, would benefit from the A to B upgrades.  The boards
were re-done to REV B to incorporate all the prior upgrade mods at SN
3000.  A serial number 2514 would have to be physically instected to
determine which upgrades (different from options) have been installed.

73,
