Older K2

Neil Shubert
Hi All.
I have a K2- ser# 2676

I will look to upgrade to the re-work eliminator, unpcbs internal mic
adaptor and other kits as well

I know there were design changes made to the radio after my manufacturing
run. What improvements came out of these changes and Does anyone know if I
will have any problems or what problems I need to expect from a pre-
upgraded radio.

Neil,

Download and review the K2 A to B instructions, and you will see some
explanation for many of the official upgrades.
I would suggest you add the 2nd Xtal Flattening Mod since you have the
KSB2 installed - it will flatten the OP1 filter passband.
If you are content with the thermal stability of your K2, that is fine,
but if you wish to improve it, I would suggest adding the BFO mod and th
thermistor mod.  If you run an amplifier, I would strongly recommend the
K2 Keying Waveshape Mod which eliminates keyclicks (but also requires
new firmware).

I doubt that you will have any real problems with your older K2, but the
A to B mods do add some improvement to the K2 stability.

BTW - the rework eliminators are no longer available (unless you can
find an uninstalled kit), but the IMA is still being shipped as far as I
know.

73,
Don W3FPR
