K1 and K2 RIP?

[Elecraft mailing list]

I just called Elecraft looking for some parts for my spare K1 and K2 and was told they are out of production.  They are still listed on the order page.
If true, I am very sorry to see them go.  Building my K2 was one of the best experiences of my life.  Thank you, Elecraft.

The K1 was discontinued a while ago, I just bought a k2 over the summer
after the K1 was discontinued out of concern the K2 might be next, this is
the first I have heard the k2 was discontinued however.
Hope not,  it’s the only one on the market like it that you can build
yourself, we can only hope that perhaps they will come out with new kit
radio.

Eric,

The K2 is still current production, but the K1 is no longer available,
as is the KX1.

Parts should still be available, although part number substitutes may
have to be used in some cases - in the case of the K2, all parts are
still available except for those that have been superceded by the
current parts.  I order parts regularly.

If you send me a list of what you need, perhaps I can help.

73,
Don W3FPR

The K2 is absolutely still in production :-)  Reports of its death are not accurate.

73,

Hi,

as Eric said the K2 is still in production. It is the best multiband KIT on
the market with better K-parameters than several much more expensive
commercials on the market, hi.

BTW - did you realized how the price of used K1 rise-up on the market :)
