Year of the K2

[KXBill]

Anyone remember what year the K2 was introduced? I'm thinking somewhere around 2000.

Hi Bill,

We shipped the first batch of K2s in early 1999.

When will you come up with an replacement?
An all solder kit like the K2 but wiith newer techology? :-)
Also, an cross between the KX1 and KX3, named of course KX2 with all solder components, CW and SSB, with built-in tuner etc.... :-)

I was chicken to buy one of the first ones, so I waited until midsummer when they were
already up to no. 709.

I didn't make that mistake with the K3!

I have to believe that as long as Elecraft produces a radio that can be built from
the ground up with a soldering iron - allowing for whatever specs and necessary SM
components - there will be a market for it. I just hope that their business model
allows for some such radio without doing the company harm. It's a real gift to the
hobby and keeps the "experimental" dimension alive. I also think that such a
radio/project appeases the gods and keeps the Elecraft mojo healthy and strong.
