Purchased a K2 from someone else...

[KC4UKR]

Hi,

 

I'm rather new to the list, and am the proud owner of a pre-owned K2 that is in fabulous shape.  However, I have one question.  When looking at the site, I see all kinds of references to serial numbers, but am unable to locate the serial number for my K2.

 

The questions I have are:

 

1.  Most pictures I've seen show a sticker applied to the radio that gives the Serial Number.  I'm betting this was never affixed to this radio.

 

2.  If the serial number isn't able to be found on the device, (I'm assuming it's a couple of years old, as the firmware revision is 1.09B), can Elecraft help me out if I know the original purchaser's call sign? 

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Brian

K2 is a GREAT radio.  Yes, the SN is a sticker on the lower right side of the back panel.  It is possible that the sticker is still in the box of stuff you got with the rig.  Take a look.  Also, look at the owner's manual to see if the SN was written in there.  If not, contact Elecraft.  They can probably tell you the SN and even sell (?) you a SN sticker to make your rig complete.

Brian,

If you know who the original buyer is, then retrieving the serial number
should be easy.  A note to [hidden email] should do it.  A new SN
sticker can be purchased for only a couple dollars.

If you do not know the original buyer of that K2, the 'plot thickens'
because there is no information to trace the purchase.

73,
