K2 unbuilt kit SN 2620 - updates?

Gordon LaPoint
I just picked up the K2 unbuilt kit SN # 2620 from an estate sale.
(Makes a nice addition to my K1, K3,KPA500 station)

After looking at the Elecraft site it looks like I need the following to
upgrade to Rev B:

K2Bcompkt (K2 Rev B Comp upgr kit), FWK2MCIO (K2 MCU, IOC Upgr.),
E850138 (K2 Temp Comp PLL Upgr.) and the E740001 K2 Manual .

The kit has the K2, KNB2 Noise blanker, KAT2 internal tuner, KAF2 audio
filter/RTC and the KBT2 internal battery.

I would like to add the KSB2 SSB option and the KIO2 Aux I/O RS-232
interface.

What else would I need to add or upgrade to this kit?


Thanks!

Gordon - N1MGO

Gordon,

That should get you the new boards and all the additional parts to
install.  It should also get you a serial number for the updated K2.

If you want 160 meter operation, get the K160RX, and if you want 60
meter operation, get the K60XV and a new rear panel E100075SS.
Hint - if you order the K60XV kit and state that you have back level
firmware, you should get the FWK2MCIO at no extra cost.

Do you have resonant antennas?  If not, you may want to add the KAT2 -
the base K2 needs to work into a 50 ohm non-reactive load.
